The aim of this study is to examine the effects of an eight-week calisthenic home exercise program on premenstrual symptoms, pain and sleep quality in young women.
The study was conducted on 30 volunteers who met the inclusion criteria among female students studying at Haliç University Faculty of Health Sciences. The "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)" was used to assess the individuals' premenstrual symptoms; the "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" was used to assess pain for each of the abdominal, lumbar and general body pain; and the "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)" was used to assess sleep quality. Then, the participants were randomly divided into two groups as "Group 1: Control group (n=15)" and "Group 2: - Calisthenic home exercise group (n=15)". Participants in the first group were not subjected to any intervention and were asked not to participate in any exercise program for eight weeks. Participants in the second group were informed about calisthenic home exercise programs face to face and were asked to perform these exercises as home exercises for eight weeks. At the end of the treatment process, participants' PMSS, VAS and PSQI scores were re-evaluated.Statistical analysis will be performed with SPSS 24.0 program. If the data is parametric, paired sample t-test will be used for within-group evaluation; independent sample t-test will be used for between-group evaluation. If the data is non-parametric, Wilson test will be used for within-group evaluation and Mann Whitney U test will be used for between-group evaluation.

| Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) | The scale, which is widely used in the clinic, has 44 questions that women mark considering "the state of being in the period one week before menstruation". The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 44; the highest score is 220. In addition, PMS severity classes can be created according to the scores obtained from the scale. Accordingly, a score of 88 and above from PMSS indicates severe PMS symptoms, and a score below 88 indicates mild PMS symptoms. Individuals who scored 88 and above from the scale were included in our study. | at baseline and at week 8. |
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | VAS is a simple, practical, valid, reliable and repeatable measure that evaluates the pain felt by scoring it between 0-10. Participants were asked to score the pain intensity they felt between 0-10 for each of the abdominal region, lumbar region and general body pain. | at baseline and at week 8. |
| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) | The PSQI questionnaire used to assess sleep quality includes 18 items for scoring. A total PSQI score between 0-4 indicates good sleep quality, and a score between 5-21 indicates poor sleep quality. | at baseline and at week 8. |
