The Effect of Exercise-Oriented Training on Physical Activity Level and Exercise Awareness in Overweight and Obese Women

IG received an exercise-oriented training with a 20-minute presentation including graphics, in line with clinical guidelines, in addition to routine recommendations. The training included information about the benefits of exercise and the harms of a sedentary life, the relationship between exercise and chronic diseases, suggestions to have a more active lifestyle and on how to exercise, the duration and form of exercise necessary for a healthy life, and the things to be considered while exercising. During the three-month follow-up, the subjects in the IG were called every two weeks to ask about their weight measurements, their level of exercise, and how much they walked. The subjects' questions, if any, were answered, and the interview was completed by making exercise suggestions.
