The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of online exercise training in geriatric population whose daily life activity level decreased during COVID-19 pandemic.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Research data were collected by Sociodemographic Information Form, 36-Item Short Form Survey, The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Geriatric Depression Scale, Timed Up & Go Test, and New York Posture Rating Chart.
While no application was given to the control group, study group has received an online exercise training with a structured exercise program including range of motion, stretching, and, to train full body, low intensity aerobic exercises, once a week for 10 weeks, each lasting 60 minutes.

| Structured exercise program | Other | The intervention applied in this research has an online exercise training conducting with a structured exercise program including different types of exercise which are range of motion, stretching and low intensity aerobic exercises. The exercise program continued with sessions each lasting 60 minutes, once a week for 10 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| balance | To determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking, Timed-Up and Go Test was used. This is a simple screening test that is a sensitive and specific measure of probability for falls among older adults. An older adult who takes ≥12 seconds to complete the test is at risk for falling. The results of the Timed-Up and Go Test were obtained in seconds. This primary outcome was evaluated by interpreting these results. | This outcome was evaluated twice, before starting the exercise program and after completing the exercise program. |
| mobility | To determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking, Timed-Up and Go Test was used. This is a simple screening test that is a sensitive and specific measure of probability for falls among older adults. An older adult who takes ≥12 seconds to complete the test is at risk for falling. The results of the Timed-Up and Go Test were obtained in seconds. This primary outcome was evaluated by interpreting these results. | This outcome was evaluated twice, before starting the exercise program and after completing the exercise program. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| sleep quality | This outcome was evaluated by The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. This is a self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over a 1-month time interval. The measure consists of 19 individual items, creating 7 components that produce one global score. Each item is weighted on a 0-3 interval scale. The global score is then calculated by totaling the seven component scores, providing an overall score ranging from 0 to 21, where lower scores denote a healthier sleep quality. |

| This outcome was evaluated twice, before starting the exercise program and after completing the exercise program. |
| depression status | This outcome was evaluated by Geriatric Depression Scale. According to the results of this questionnaire, a higher score is considered an indicator of more severe depression. | This outcome was evaluated twice, before starting the exercise program and after completing the exercise program. |
| posture | This outcome was evaluated by New York Posture Rating Chart. This test includes a set of three figure drawings for each of different body alignment segments contributing to overall postural alignment. According to the results of this test, a higher score is considered an indicator of good posture. | This outcome was evaluated twice, before starting the exercise program and after completing the exercise program. |
| QoL | This outcome was evaluated by 36-Item Short Form Survey. This questionnaire evaluates 8 basic concepts related to health with 36 questions. Item scores for each quality of life area are coded and placed on a scale of 0-100 (0 is the worst, 100 is the best) using algorithms. | This outcome was evaluated twice, before starting the exercise program and after completing the exercise program. |
