About this study
Official title: Effects of Different Exercise Approaches on Physical Activity Level and Health Outcomes in Inactive Adults
This randomized, controlled, single-blind study aims to compare the effects of different exercise approaches on physical activity level and health-related outcomes in inactive adults. Thirty inactive individuals aged 18-35 years will be randomly assigned to supervised face-to-face group exercise, mobile application-based exercise, or video-based home exercise. Exercise programs will be performed three days per week for eight weeks and will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Face-to-Face Supervised ExerciseOther
Participants will perform supervised face-to-face group exercise sessions three days per week for eight weeks under the guidance of a physiotherapist. Each session will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises.
Mobile App-Based ExerciseDevice
Participants will perform exercise sessions using the Nike+ Training Club mobile application three days per week for eight weeks. The program will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises delivered through asynchronous video content.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Total Physical Activity Level
Physical activity will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Total physical activity will be calculated as metabolic equivalent (MET)-minutes per week based on walking, moderate-intensity, and vigorous-intensity activities performed during the last 7 days. Higher values indicate higher levels of physical activity.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (8)
Daily Step Count
Daily step count will be measured using a wearable activity tracker. The average number of steps per day will be recorded. Higher values indicate higher levels of physical activity. Unit of Measure is steps per day.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Active Time
Active time will be assessed using a wearable activity tracker. The average duration of active movement per day will be recorded. Higher values indicate greater daily physical activity duration. Unit of measure is minutes per day.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Energy Expenditure
Daily energy expenditure related to physical activity will be measured using a wearable activity tracker. Higher values indicate greater caloric expenditure through physical activity. Unit of Measure is kilocalories per day.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Distance Covered
Distance covered during daily activities will be recorded using a wearable activity tracker. Higher values indicate greater daily movement. Unit of Measure is kilometers per day.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Aerobic Capacity
Aerobic capacity will be assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test. The outcome measure will be the total distance walked in meters during the six-minute test period.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Lower Extremity Muscle Strength
Lower extremity muscle strength will be assessed using the 1-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test. The outcome will be the total number of correctly performed sit-to-stand repetitions completed within one minute.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Health Releated Quality of Life
Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36). The SF-36 consists of eight domains assessing physical and mental health. Each domain is scored on a 0-100 scale, with 0 indicating the worst health status and 100 indicating the best health status. Higher scores represent better perceived health-related quality of life.
Measured: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks
Participant Satisfaction and Perceived Change
Participant satisfaction and perceived change will be assessed using the Global Rating of Change (GRC) scale. Participants will rate their perceived overall change and satisfaction with the intervention compared to baseline.
Measured: At the end of the intervention (8 weeks)

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Total Physical Activity Level (time frame: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
