Brief Summary

Researchers could not find a study in the literature examining the effectiveness of different technological methods in exercise practices in older adults. Based on this, the aim of this study is to compare the effect of exercise intervention using telerehabilitation and video-based rehabilitation method on physical performance, muscle mass, fat percentage and body mass index.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Physical performance tests- 30 seconds chair stand test:

  It is performed to evaluate lower extremity endurance. The individual is asked to fully stand up from a chair without armrests and sit back down for 30 seconds. The exact number of standing up and sitting down during thirty seconds is recorded. An increase in the number of starts means better endurance

  six weeks

• Physical performance tests- 30 seconds chair stand test-Time up & go test (TUG):

  Time up \& go test (TUG): It is used to evaluate balance and functional mobility. The person is seated on a chair without armrests, then the person is asked to get up from the chair, walk 3 m, return to the chair and sit down. The time it takes to complete the test is recorded. Decreasing test completion time means better performance

  six weeks

• Physical performance tests- Single leg stance:

  Single leg stance: Without shoes, they stand on one leg with their hands on their hips, one knee bent, and time is kept. It is performed 3 times for each extremity, the best score is recorded (16).

  six weeks

• Physical performance tests- Six-minute walk test:

  It is used to determine the functional exercise capacities of participants. Participants are asked to walk quickly for 6 minutes. The distance walked during this time is measured in meters. Long distance indicates better physical performance

  six weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Assessing the participants' height

  six weeks

• Evaluation of body mass index

  six weeks

• Evaluation of height

  six weeks

• Evaluation of muscle mass

  six weeks

• Evaluation of fat ratio

Other Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of muscle strength

Study Arms (2)

Telerehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It is a group that performs the given exercise program mutually with the physiotherapist via video connection.

Other: Telerehabilitation

Video-based rehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This is the group that does the given exercises by watching the video.

Other: Video-based rehabilitation (VTR)

Interventions

Telerehabilitation OTHER

In the study, the VTR guru was given video footage of 15 exercises previously recorded on camera. The individuals in this group were made to do the exercises together online via the WhatsApp program. Exercises in both groups were planned for 6 weeks, 3 days a week, 25-45 minutes. The main program consists of 15 calisthenic exercises involving the lower extremity, upper extremity and trunk large muscle groups. Exercises in both groups were planned for 6 weeks, 3 days a week, 25-45 minutes. The number of repetitions of each exercise started with 10 and was increased by 5 repetitions every two weeks until it reached 20 repetitions.

Telerehabilitation

Video-based rehabilitation (VTR) OTHER

In the study, the VTR guru was given video footage of 15 exercises previously recorded on camera. Participants were asked to exercise by watching these videos. In addition, these individuals were interviewed once a week to check the progress of the exercise program. Video images were sent to the intervention group for informational purposes, and the individuals in this group were made to do the exercises together online via the WhatsApp program.
