The aim of this study is to determine the effect of telehealth-synchronized group exercise on sleep and quality of life, and secondarily, on the health and body perception of healthy young adults. This study is planned as a randomized double-blind controlled clinical study.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of telehealth-synchronized group exercise on sleep and quality of life, and secondarily, on the health and body perception of healthy young adults. This study is planned as a randomized double-blind controlled clinical study. The sample size was calculated using G\*power 3.1.9.2, which required 42 patients and a size effect of 0.8, 80% power, 1:1 allocation ratio, and an error probability of 0.05. Forty-eight participants were planned to be included in the study, based on the probability that 15% of the patients could be excluded.

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a 19-item self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over the last month. Its adaptation to Turkish and its reliability and validity analyses were carried out in 1996 by Ağargün el al. It covers seven components of sleep each of which are scored between 0-3: sleep duration, sleep disturbances, sleep latency, daytime dysfunction due to sleepiness, sleep efficiency, overall sleep quality, and sleep medication use. The PSQI provides a global score that ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality: smaller than 5, the score points to "Good Sleep Quality"; greater than or equal to 5, it indicates poor sleep quality (Buysee 1989, Agargun 1996). PSQI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing sleep quality in clinical and research settings.
