Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of online exercise training in geriatric population whose daily life activity level decreased during COVID-19 pandemic.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does online exercise training improve quality of life in the geriatric population whose daily life activity levels have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic?
* Does online exercise training improve sleep quality in the geriatric population whose daily life activity levels have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic?
* Does online exercise training affect depression status in the geriatric population whose daily life activity levels have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic?
* Does online exercise training reduce the risk of falls by improving balance and functional independence in geriatric population whose daily life activity levels have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic?
* Does online exercise training improve posture in geriatric population whose daily life activity levels have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic?

Research data were collected by Sociodemographic Information Form, 36-Item Short Form Survey, The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Geriatric Depression Scale, Timed Up \& Go Test, and New York Posture Rating Chart.

While no application was given to the control group, study group has received an online exercise training with a structured exercise program including range of motion, stretching, and, to train full body, low intensity aerobic exercises, once a week for 10 weeks, each lasting 60 minutes.
