The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercise programs as 'Deep Water Running' and 'Treadmill Running' in sedentary young adults.
Rapid and explosive movements such as jumping or stair climbing need anaerobic performance. Anaerobic performance is negatively affected by sedentary behaviour due to loss of muscle strength and endurance. Exercise is an effective method to increase muscle strength and physical performance. Exercising in water has unique physiological characteristics such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and metacentric effect. In addition, exercising in high speeds in water leads strengthening. Deep water running is employed to imitate the running on land. It is advocated that deep water running might result additional benefits than running on land. Therefore, the effect of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of deep water running and treadmill running in sedentary young adults.

Change in lower extremity anaerobic performance
The lower extremity anaerobic performance will be measured by using Wingate Anaerobic Capacity Test. The average power (watt, watt/kg), and peak power (watt/watt/kg) will be recorded.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in lower extremity strength
The strengths of M. Quadriceps Femoris, M. Gluteus Maximus, and M. Gastrocnemius will be assessed by using a hand-held dynamometer. Muscle strength will be recorded in kilograms.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in agility
T agility test will be used for evaluating agility. The time will be recorded for completing the test.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in trunk muscle endurance
Side bridge position will be employed to measure the trunk muscles endurance. The time until the failure in the position will be recorded.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in fatigue
Fatigue will be assessed by using Fatigue Severity Scale. It includes nine items, and each item is scored between 1-7 (1: totally disagree, 7: totally agree). Higher scores indicate higher levels of fatigue.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in total body mass
Total body mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in fat mass

Fat mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in fat free muscle mass
Fat free muscle mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in basal metabolism rate
Basal metabolism will be measured by analyzing gas exchange in rest position. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production will be recorded.
Time frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
