What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Exercise: Stages of Change (Short Form)

    It consists of the question "Do you exercise regularly?" and five answers. These answers are "precontamplation", "contemplation", "preparation", "action" and "maintanence".

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Exercise Barrier Scale

    It was developed in response to a need for an instrument to determine perceptions of individuals concerning the barriers to participating in exercise.

    Measured: At baseline and 8th weeks

  2. International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form

    IPAQ-SF provides information on walking, moderate and vigorous activities and time spent sitting, within a week.

    Measured: At baseline and 8th weeks

  3. Motivation Scale For Participation In Physical Activity

    It is a measurement tool to measure the motivation of students to participate in physical activity.

    Measured: At baseline and 8th weeks

  4. Body Awareness Questionnaire

    he BAQ is an 18-item scale designed to assess self-reported attentiveness to normal nonemotive body processes, specifically, sensitivity to body cycles and rhythms, ability to detect small changes in normal functioning, and ability to anticipate bodily reactions.

    Measured: At baseline and 8th weeks

  5. Number of steps in weekly

    Number of steps in weekly will be recorded by smartphone application.

    Measured: At baseline and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8th weeks
