Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Social Media Addiction

  Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale is a social media addiction scale, but social media has been defined as the use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Therefore, BSMAS can be considered a SNA scale despite being called a social media addiction scale. BSMAS is an adaptation of Bergen Facebook addiction scale (BFAS). In BSMAS, the term "Facebook" has been replaced with "Social media" in all items of the scale. There is one item each for six components of behavioral addiction.Higher scores mean a social media addiction level is high.

The questionnaire referre to the last 7 days and asked about walking, moderate-intensity activities, vigorous-intensity activities and sitting time.

  Baseline

  The 6-min walk test (6MWT) will perform in a 30-m unobstructed corridor. Measurement will be done according to American Thoracic Society guidelines.

  Baseline

• Maximal exercise capacity

  A modified incremental shuttle walk test will be used to evaluate maximal exercise capacity.Subjects will be instructed to walk/run up and down a 10-m course marked by cones placed 0.5 m from each end.
