Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Cranio verteblal angle (CVA) :Inclusion criteria in the study when the craniovertebral angle in male students is less than 50 degrees. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: The intersection of two lines drawn from a line in the direction of the seventh cervical vertebra to the tragus of the ear and the other line in the horizontal direction of the seventh cervical vertebra forms an angle called the cranio vertebral angle. After determining these values ??in students, they are photographed by photographic method.;Cranio Angle (CA). Timepoint: Angle measurement is at the beginning of the study and after the intervention. Method of measurement: This angle is used to determine the position of the head on the trunk next to the cranio vertebral angle.This angle is drawn from a horizontal line in the direction of the ear cranial (ear tragus) and a line is drawn from the line connecting the ear cranial and the corner of the eye.;Shoulder Angle (ShA). Timepoint: It is measured at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and after the intervention. Method of measurement: The shoulder angle is defined for the round shoulder and refers to the increase in the distance between the spine appendage of the vertebrae and the lower angle of the scapula, and increasing this angle causes the shoulder to protrude from the sagittal plate from the lateral view of the body.The angle obtained from the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) and the direction of the head is called the shoulder angle. To obtain this angle, draw a line perpendicular to the seventh cervical vertebra and draw another line from the acromion in the direction of the shoulder and connect it. The angle obtained with the line perpendicular to the seventh cervical vertebra will be considered the shoulder angle.	—
