The curfew restrictions applied during the pandemic period have had negative physical and psychological effects on people all over the world. Therefore, the aim of the study is examining the effect of distance exercise education on psychological state and body awareness. Twenty-one sedentary women aged 20-30 years participated in the study. Exercises were carried out for 6 weeks, 3 days a week, 1 hour daily. The exercise program sent to the participants digitally consists of a total of 8 moves: plank, crunch, leg raise, flutter kicks, mountain climbers, arms-high partial sit up, heel touches, half push up. 10 minutes of warm-up at the beginning of each exercise and 5 minutes of active cooling with 5 minutes of stretching at the end. All participants had the Body Awareness Questionarre (BAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) filled digitally 6 weeks before and 6 weeks later. SPSS 20.00 program was used to analyze the data. The shapiro wilk test was used to determine whether the data showed normal distribution. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used as the data did not show normal distribution in the analyzes. Significance level was accepted as p < 0.05. A statistically significant difference was found in all data as a result of the pre-test and post-test comparison of body weight, BDI and BAQ values (p < 0.05). As a result, it can be said that the exercise program applied to sedentary individuals has a positive effect on psychological state and body awareness.

Triglycerides are source of energy in the body, but triglyceride deposits that exceed the threshold will cause health problems, so triglycerides should be lowered to normal. The reduction of triglycerides can be done through physical activity, therefore this study aims to reveal the effect of regular swimming exercises and irregular exercises against triglyceride levels. This research is an experimental research using The Post Test Only Control Group Design design. Subjects of the study were male of Rattus Norvegicus Wistar, 39 subjects was divided into 3 groups with Matched Subject Design technique, which consisted of 2 groups of treatment that is regular and irregular group, and control group. The exercise program was given a swimming with a 3% weight of body weight and was tied 5 cm from the tip of the tail which was performed 3 times per week consistently for regular exercise and 0 to 5 times per week inconsistently for irregular exercise for 12 weeks, While the control group was not given training. In the last week before the blood was taken, the first three groups were given swimming treatment exercises. Based on the results of the anava test, there was a significant difference in the reduction of triglyceride levels among white mice who were given regular exercise with irregular exercise. These results suggest that regular exercise has a better impact on triglyceride reduction than irregular exercise, due to the higher adaptation process of regular exercise.

Context: The level of body awareness, performance emotional state (PES), and demographic characteristics in different sports are subjects to be investigated. It is important to examine the concepts of PES and body awareness to better understand the body–mind relationship in different sports. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the level of body awareness and PES of athletes. Design: In this cross-sectional study, the independent variables are groups (4 different sports), and the dependent variables are body awareness and PES. Participants: The study was conducted on 188 licensed athletes (85 footballers, 36 basketball players, 34 handball players, and 33 swimmers). The mean age of the participants was 14.64 (1.89) years, mean height was 172.44 (11.03) cm, and mean body weight was 62.35 (13.12) kg. Settings: Four sports clubs and 2 high schools were the intervention facilities. Intervention: Body Awareness Questionnaire and Continuous Optimal Performance Emotional Status Scale-2 were used for data collection. Sociodemographic information was recorded. Main Outcome Measures: One-way analysis of variance was used for analysis of normal distribution data in 4 different groups, and the Kruskal–Wallis test was used for the analysis of data that did not show normal distribution. Results: There was no difference in body awareness among the branches (P = .17). The PES of the footballers was better than that of other athletes (P = .01). The correlation between body awareness and PES was medium (r = .47, P < .01), and the correlations between body awareness and age, licensed year, and number of weekly training sessions were weak (r = .22, P < .01; r = .19, P < .01; r = .15, P = .03). Conclusions: The body awareness of athletes may not differ among different sports, but PES is related to many factors such as mood, age, license years, and number of training sessions. In rehabilitation and training, body awareness and PES should be evaluated together.
