The Effect of 12-Week "Home Exercise Program" Applied to Individuals on Body Composition and Quality of Life in Covid-19 Pandemic Process

Abstract

This study was conducted in an experimental type to evaluate the effect of the 12-week "Home Exercise Program" applied to individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic on body composition and quality of life.This study is an experimental research designed in pretest-posttest design.The study group consisted of 32 adult individuals.Personal Information Form and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale were used to collect the data.The individuals in the experimental group performed 60 minutes of anaerobic exercise three days a week and 40 minutes of walking four days a week for 12 weeks.According to the findings obtained from the study, the Home Exercise Program caused a decrease in body mass index, lean body fat weight and body fat weight, and an increase in quality of life physical and mental health levels.While there was no significant difference between the baseline mean scores of body mass index, lean body weight and body fat weight of the individuals in the experimental and control groups, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of both groups after the experiment.After the application; it was found that the mean scores of the individuals in the experimental group increased in the mental and physical health sub-dimensions of quality of life compared to those in the control group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant.In line with the results of this study, it can be said that the 12-week Home Exercise Program is an effective exercise program in ensuring body composition and improving the quality of life of individuals.

Pandemi Sürecinde Bireylere Uygulanan 12 Haftalık “Evde Egzersiz Programı”nın Vücut Kompozisyonu ve Yaşam Kalitesine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırma, Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde bireylere uygulanan 12 haftalık “Evde Egzersiz Programı”nın vücut kompozisyonu ve yaşam kalitesine etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla deneysel türde yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma öntest sontest düzeninde tasarlanmış deneysel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu,32 yetişkin birey oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve SF-36 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Deney grubundaki bireylere 12 hafta boyunca haftanın üç günü 60 dakika anaerobik egzersiz ve dört günü ise 40 dakika yürüyüş şeklinde uygulanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, Evde Egzersiz Programı bireylerin vücut kitle indeksi, yağsız vücut yağ ağırlığı ve vücut yağ ağırlığında düşmeye, yaşam kalitesi fiziksel ve mental sağlık düzeyinde artışa neden olmuştur. Deney ve kontrol grubundaki bireylerin vücut kitle indeksi, yağsız vücut ağırlığı ve vücut yağ ağırlığı puan ortalamalarına ait başlangıç ölçümü puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmazken, deney sonrası her iki grubun puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark olduğu saptanmıştır. Uygulama sonrasında; deney grubundaki bireylerin yaşam kalitesi mental ve fiziksel sağlık alt boyutları puan ortalamalarının kontrol grubundakilere göre arttığı saptanmış olup, gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma sonuçları doğrultusunda, uygulanan 12 haftalık Evde Egzersiz Programı’nın bireylerin vücut kompozisyonunun sağlanmasında ve yaşam kalitesinin artırılmasında etkili bir egzersiz programı olduğu söylenebilir.
