All evaluations of the individuals included in the study will be done by the physiotherapist.. For the second evaluation the same individuals will be visited by the same physiotherapist at least 7 days after the first evaluation and only the FAB-T scale will be applied. 34 volunteer individuals who will be randomly choosen among 84 individuals will be given a 6-week exercise training program. According to this 6 week program, individuals will be admitted to the exercise training program for 45-60 minutes with a physiotherapist for 3 days in a week. The exercise program will consist of a warm-up, a strength training and a cool-down section. Various exercise methods (clinical pilates exercises) and tools will be utilized to improve balance and mobility. Third assessment of FAB-T will be applied only to individuals participating in the 6-week exercise training program.
