The Effects of Game-Based Exercises on Balance, Kinesiophobia, Fatigue Levels, and Pain in Sedentary Individuals
A study testing Game-based exercise group in people with Sedentary Behavior, run by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Physical activity is a significant factor that greatly affects human health. However, with the development of technology, there has been a significant decrease in the physical activity levels of individuals in their daily lives, leading to the emergence of a sedentary society.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Single Leg Stance Test
A method used to assess static balance. Participants are asked to stand on one leg with eyes open and arms crossed at chest level. The raised leg should not touch or make contact with the ground. The individual must maintain their position without any jerking, jumping, or touching any nearby objects for support. The time they can maintain the position is recorded in seconds.
Measured: 6 weeks
Libra Swivel Balance Board
A computer-based device used to assess dynamic balance. The Libra swivel balance board (42 cm long and 42 cm wide) is equipped with a computer system. Dynamic balance is measured using specific software
Measured: 6 weeks
International Physical Activity Questionnaire
this questionnaire provides information on the time spent on sitting, walking, moderate-intensity, and vigorous-intensity activities. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Öztürk (2005). It classifies individuals as sedentary, minimally active, or highly active based on MET-minute/week score
Measured: 6 weeks
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale
It evaluates fear of movement and injury. The scale consists of 17 items with 4 response options (1 = Strongly Disagree to 4 = Strongly Agree). Higher scores indicate greater kinesiophobia
Measured: 6 weeks
Fatigue Severity Scale
This scale measures the severity of fatigue over the last week, with 9 questions scored on a 7-point scale. Higher scores (28 or above) indicate severe fatigue.
Measured: 6 weeks
McGill Pain Questionnaire
Developed by Melzack, this scale assesses pain sensory aspects using 15 descriptive words. Participants rate their pain intensity on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe)
Measured: 6 weeks
