Abstract

This study was conducted to examining the effects of performing individual fitness exercise in the form of group fitness exercises on some parameters. The sample of the study consists of a healthy male individual (N=18) Participants were divided into two equal study groups Group Fitness Group (GFG) (n=9) and Individual Fitness Group (IFG) (n=9). GFG applied for the exercise program as a group fitness activity, while IFG applied for the same program individually 2 days a week for 8 weeks. To determine the muscle strength ratios of the participants; fitness tests were applied. Body fat ratio was determined using a skinfold caliper, and balance ability was determined by a static balance test on the sigma balance platform. Within the scope of the research model, which was designed as a statistical procedure, the Two-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA test was applied to compare the between-group and in-group values of the participants. According to the results of the research, in the evaluation between the groups, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in all values (p>0.05). According to the results of the study, although it was determined that performing group fitness exercises individually or in a group did not cause different effects on increasing the physical performance of individuals, It was seen that the increase in all pre-and post-test scores of GFG was higher than IFG.
