Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigation of biopsychosocial characteristics of individuals who do pilates and sedentary individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was carried out with 2 groups: individuals ages 20-50,participating in a pilates program for 8 weeks (n:27) and sedentary individuals (n:27). Before starting this study, the groups were assessed for biopsychosocial status with the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach- Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (CETA-BQ) , for depression levels with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), for covid-19 fear levels with the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, for their sleep quality with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), quality of life was assessed with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). After the first evaluation, an informative presentation emphasizing the importance of physical activity during the pandemic process was given to all participants. Individuals in the exercise group also participated in pilates sessions that lasted 50 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, all questionnaires were repeated for both groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach- Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (CETA-BQ)

  It was used to evaluate the biopsychosocial status of the participants. Each item is scored between 0-4 according to the Likert system. An increase in the score indicates a worsening of the biopsychosocial status. (4: Yes always, 3: Yes often, 2: Yes sometimes, 1: Yes rarely, 0: No, never)

  0-8 weeks

• Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)

  Beck Depression Scale consists of 21 items including depressive symptoms. Minimal depression from 0 to 9 points; 10-16 points mild depression; 17-29 points indicate moderate depression and 30-63 points indicate severe depression.

  0-8 weeks

• Coronavirus Anxiety Scale

  The scale was created by evaluating the scales evaluating different fear parameters by experts and taking into account the opinions of the participants. The scale is scored in a one-factor and five-point Likert type (1=I strongly disagree; 5=I strongly agree). The scale consists of seven items. The score that can be obtained from the scale is between 7-35. A high score indicates greater fear of COVID-19.

  0-8 weeks

• Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

  The PSQI consists of 7 components: 1. subjective sleep quality, 2. sleep latency, 3. sleep duration, 4. habitual sleep efficiency, 5. sleep disturbance, 6. sleep medication use, 7. daytime dysfunction. Each component is evaluated with a score between 0-3. The total score is between 0-21. A higher score indicates worsening sleep quality. A score of 0-4 is considered good sleep quality, while a score of 5-21 is defined as poor sleep quality.

  0-8 weeks

• Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)

  Questionnaire; pain (8 items), physical activity (8 items), energy (3 items), sleep (5 items), social isolation (5 items) and emotional reaction (9 items). There are 38 questions in total. Questions are answered with yes or no. Each section is scored between 0-100. Zero indicates best health, 100 indicates worst health.
