Abstract Implementation of Physical Activity Counseling Program in Healthy Adult Individuals It was planned to investigate the effects of physical activity counseling on physical fitness level, physical activity level, depression level, sleep quality, quality of life and the change in the number of daily steps. 48 healthy adults aged 18-65 years will be included in the study. Participants will be randomized to the experimental group receiving videoconferencing counseling for eight weeks and the control group receiving single-session informational counseling. Participants will be evaluated with online questionnaires and physical fitness tests during the video conference before the study begins, at the end of the first month and at the end of the second month. Online surveys to be applied; PACE Score, Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q), Short Form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Short Form ( WHOQOL-BREF) and physical fitness tests; Plank Test, Curl Up Test, Modified Push Up Test and Squat Test. Demographic information of the participants such as age, weight, height will be recorded. In addition, all participants will record their step counts with the pedometer application they download to their phones one week before the study starts and for one week after the study ends.

| Physical Activity Level | International Physical Activity Questionnaire of Short Form:IPAQ-SF records the last 7 day recall for four intensity levels of physical activity which is vigorous-intensity activity, moderate-intensity activity, walking, and sitting. From IPAQ-SF, data were converted to Metabolic Equivalent minutes per week (MET-min/week) using. Compendium average MET score (Walking = 3.3 METs, Moderate Physical Activity = 4.0 METs and Vigorous Physical Activity = 8.0 METs). | first measurement at the beginning of the study,change at first month, change at second month |
| Depression Level | Beck Depression Scale: BDI scores of 0-13 indicate minimal depression, 14-19 (mild depression), 20-28 (moderate depression) and 29-63 (severe depression). | first measurement at the beginning of the study,change at first month, change at second month |
| Sleep Quality | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: In scoring the PSQI, seven component scores are derived, each scored 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The component scores are summed to produce a global score (range 0 to 21). Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality. | first measurement at the beginning of the study,change at first month, change at second month |
| Life Quality | World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Short Form: WHOQOL-BREF is a scale for the quality of life assessment developed by the World Health Organization. It is composed by 26 questions graded from 1 to 5. Scoring: 1 to 2.9 - needs improvement 3 to 3.9 - regular 4 to 4.9 - good 5 - very good Question 1 asks about the individual's overall perception of quality of life. Results refer to question 1. | first measurement at the beginning of the study,change at first month, change at second month |
