The goal of this observational study is to examine the level of body awareness in individuals with obesity and investigate the parameters associated with body awareness. In addition, compare these parameters with healthy subjects with normal weight. The main questions it aims to answer are:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Body Awareness | The Body Awareness Questionnaire will be used to assess body awareness. This questionnaire includes physical, emotional, and social aspects of a person's susceptibility to normal or abnormal bodily conditions and processes, questioning susceptibility to physical reactions. There are 18 statements in the questionnaire, each scored between 1 and 7 points (1=Not at all suitable for me, 7=Completely suitable for me). The total score is 126 and higher indicates a better body awareness level. | Baseline (Only 1 time) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Physical activity level | To evaluate self-reported physical activity level, International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) will be used. The IPAQ-SF (7 questions) provides information about time spent on walking, moderate-intensity, and vigorous-intensity activities, as well as time spent sitting. The energy MET-minute score for these activities is calculated using standard MET values, which are as follows: Sitting: 1.5 MET, walking: 3.3 MET, moderate-intensity physical activity: 4.0 MET, vigorous-intensity physical activity: 8.0 MET. The total MET minutes per week are determined by taking the provided MET value and multiplying it by the total minutes spent engaging in the activity each day. Then, the MET minutes for all the days that the particular activity was performed are added up. Finally, the MET minutes from different activities are added up to get the total MET minutes per week. Physical activity level is categorized as low, moderate, and high. |

| Baseline (Only 1 time) |
| Dynamic balance | Dynamic balance will be evaluated with the functional reach test. In this test, when standing upright, the distance covered by an extended arm during a complete forward reach, while ensuring a fixed supporting stance is measured. | Baseline (Only 1 time) |
| Proprioception | The joint position sense assessment will be conducted using a Baseline bubble inclinometer to evaluate proprioception. | Baseline (Only 1 time) |
| Reaction time | The Nelson Foot Reaction Test will be used to evaluate individuals' reaction speed. | Baseline (Only 1 time) |
