Detailed description
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of commercially produced new generation smart step board and step-aerobic exercises for 6 weeks on the functional capacity and physical performance of young sedentary individuals. The primary outcomes to be evaluated are the functional improvements in individuals' balance, functional capacity, muscle strength, and resting heart rate after 6 weeks of step-aerobic exercises. Secondary results are the evaluation of the effects of individuals on jumping performance and exercise motivation. It is thought that the results obtained in the study will reveal new information for studies investigating home-based exercise and rehabilitation practices and may provide evidence for larger studies involving a diagnosis of a disease in the future.
Interventions
OTHERModerate-intensity aerobic activities
The exercise intensity of the individual is planned at 50-60% heart rate reserve using the Karvonen method.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional capacity | 10 weeks | Six minute walk test (6MWT) distance of the participants will be evaluated using the G-Walk sensor system |
| Resting heart rate | 10 weeks | Resting heart rate measurements are beats per minute taken in the morning |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flamingo Balance Test | 10 weeks | Static balances of the subjects will be determined with the Flamingo Balance Test. |
| Quadriceps Strength | 10 weeks | Testing will be done at 90 degrees of knee flexion using Mechanical Push/Pull Dynamometer (MPPD) 22 lb (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., USA). |
| Counter movement jump | 10 weeks | The jump parameters of the participants will be evaluated using the G-Walk sensor system (BTS G-Walk BTS Bioengineering Company, Italy). |
| Exercise motivation | 10 weeks | Motivation will be measured after exercise using a visual analog scale consisting of a 100 mm line. Individuals will mark on the line how motivated they are during exercise. Motivation points will be obtained by measuring the distance from zero to point o |
