Web based intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

The web-based intervention group participated in an 8-week exercise program, which consisted of three sessions per week, each lasting approximately 20 to 35 minutes.

Behavioral: Web-Based Physical Fitness Intervention

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group did not engage in any prescribed exercise protocol.

Interventions

Web-Based Physical Fitness InterventionBEHAVIORAL

The exercise program has been designed according to the progressive overload method. Therefore, the volume of the exercise program increased as the weeks progressed. Exercise videos were uploaded to YouTube on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays send to participants via a message group to follow the program. The videos featured the experts' explanations of the movements for each exercise.. The equipment that the participants should use in the training sessions was selected from the materials available at home (eg., use of water bottles instead of weight dumbbells). The exercise sessions is divided into 3 parts: warm-up (2-4 min. average), main part (14-19 min. average), cool-down (3-5 min. average). The warm-up includes movements to increase the heart rate and warm up the muscles to be worked on for that session. The main part of the exercise program also included rest breaks when the participants were asked to move and stretch.
