states of sedentary women. </span> </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> <b> <span style="font-size:14px;">
Material and Methods: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:14px;">A total of 30 voluntary women with the age range of 25-45 years
participated in the study. A 12-week cardio bosu exercise program was applied three times per
week. Before and after the exercise period, Body Image Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, self-
representation inventory and Beck depression questionnaire were applied. </span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> </p> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> <p style="text-align:justify;"> <b> <span style="font-size:14px;">Results: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:14px;">At the end of 12-week regular cardio bosu exercises, the second measurement of
stress value was not statistically significant although it was lower than the first measurement.
A significant decrease was detected in depression scores (p<0.05). Also, even though the
second measurement of self-representation score increased, it was not considered statistically
significant. The decrease in body image scores was significant (p <0.05). </span> </p> <span style="font-size:14px;"> </span> <p style="text-align:justify;"> <b> <span style="font-size:14px;">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:14px;"> It can be stated that cardio bosu exercises reduce depression levels in sedentary
women and contribute positively to body image. Sedentary women should be encouraged to
do regular cardio bosu exercises in order to reduce their stress and depression levels as well as
increase their body image positively.  </span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>}, number={3}, publisher={İbrahim ERDEMİR}
