Our study will be randomized controlled. Familial Mediterranean Fever patients between the ages of 12-18 will be included in the study and will be divided into 2 groups. The first group will be applied a synchronous supervised online exercise program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, and the second group will be applied an asynchronous video-based exercise program. The exercise program will be carried out for 8 weeks, 2 days a week. There will be 3 sets, 8 repetitions in 1 set in the exercise program and will be progressed according to tolerance. In the exercise program, the synchronous group will perform the exercises with the supervision of a physiotherapist via the Zoom application, while the asynchronous video-based group will upload the exercises to the system asynchronously via a channel on YouTube that only patients can access. Feedback will be received from the asynchronous group by phone. Our exercise program will be organized with the progression of exercises such as squat, lunge, stepping, running in place and jumping. The primary outcome measures of the study are the evaluation of fatigue (VAS) and functional capacity (6-Minute Walking Test). Our secondary outcome measures are the evaluation of pain, balance, physical fitness and walking. For the assessment of fatigue: Visual Analog Scale (VAS), PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale; For the assessment of functional capacity: 6 Minute Walk Test, 30 sec Sit-to-Stand Test, 10-Step Climbing Test, Pacer aebonic fitness test, Half Squat Test; For the assessment of balance: One-Leg Stand Test, Functional Forward Reach Test, Kinvent (K-plate)-K Force measurement evaluation set, Digitsole Smart Insole System for the assessment of walking; For the assessment of physical fitness: FitnessGram test battery; For the assessment of pain: VAS will be used.

It is a tool consisting of 9 questions that evaluates fatigue severity.
| From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| 30 Second Sit-to-Stand Test | One of the tests that will be used to test the functional capacity of individuals is the 30-second sit-to-stand test. During the test, patients will be asked to sit with their hands crossed over their shoulders and their feet touching the ground, and to do a full sit-to-stand in this position. The number of correct standing ups within thirty seconds will be recorded as the test score. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| 10-Step Climbing Test | In order to evaluate the functional capacity of the patients, they will be asked to quickly climb up and down 10 stairs and the test score will be recorded in seconds. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Half Squat Test | Individuals will be asked to maintain a half squat position on a hard surface, feet shoulder-width apart, hands crossed over shoulders, without shoes, in order to assess their functional capacity. The duration of the squat will be recorded in seconds. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Pacer Run Test | They will be asked to run between two cones in a 20-meter corridor, paying attention to the beeps coming from the voice recorder. The test will start at a slow running speed, and the speed will gradually increase every minute. If individuals cannot reach the cone line the first time when the beep sounds, they will be asked to run in the opposite direction. At the end of the test, the total number of completed laps will be taken as the score, including the laps that were not completed. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Single Leg Stand Test | In order to assess the balance of the subjects, they will be asked to stand on one leg with their hands crossed on their chest and the knee joint flexed at 90 degrees. It will be repeated for both the right and left extremities. The test score will be recorded in seconds. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
| Functional Forward Reach Test | Individuals will be asked to turn sideways to the wall, flex their arm 90 degrees from the shoulder, and make a fist. The third metacarpophalangeal joint will be marked as the starting point and individuals will be asked to reach forward as much as possible without taking a step or bending their knees. The third metacarpophalangeal joint alignment will be marked again at the last point reached. The distance between the two marked points will be recorded in centimeters. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks |
