Brief Summary

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

This research aims to examine the effectiveness of exercises given along with ergonomics training in construction workers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is a randomized controlled study. This study will be conducted on construction workers in the Edremit district of Balıkesir. The study will be conducted by a physiotherapist. Participants will be divided into two groups. The construction workers included in the study will be divided into an experimental group and a control group using a simple randomization method. Randomization will be conducted using a sealed envelope method. All participants will sign an informed consent form before the study begins. The assigned exercises will be monitored using an exercise tracking chart. The control group will receive only ergonomics training. The experimental group will receive both ergonomics and exercise training. Participants will receive treatment three times per week, each session lasting 45-60 minutes, for 12 weeks.
