Investigation of the Effectiveness of Regular Physical Activity in University Students

Within the physical activity program, an aerobic training program will be applied to students for a total of 150 minutes per week for 8 weeks. Aerobic training includes moderate-intensity walking exercise. The concept of moderate walking will be explained to individuals at the beginning of the study. Maximal and submaximal heart rate calculations will be made with the formulas (220-age) / (220-age X 0.6) and this heart rate will be maintained throughout the training. Students will have a pedometer application installed on their phones and their step counts and exercise minute data will be recorded. At the same time, in order for students to use their respiratory functions properly during regular walking, diaphragmatic breathing and alternating nose breathing breathing exercises will be taught and they will be instructed to do them once a day with 5 repetitions.
