The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) will be applied to both groups at the beginning and end of the study to determine the level of physical activity, and the Exercise Health Belief Model Scale (EHBM) will be applied to evaluate the exercise awareness level, and anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, waist circumference) will recorded. The CG will receive no other interventions other than routine recommendations. The IG will be given face-to-face training to increase exercise awareness along with routine recommendations after the first meeting, and they will be contacted by phone every two weeks for three months.

Exercise-oriented training

IG received an exercise-oriented training with a 20-minute presentation including graphics, in line with clinical guidelines, in addition to routine recommendations. The training included information about the benefits of exercise and the harms of a sedentary life, the relationship between exercise and chronic diseases, suggestions to have a more active lifestyle and on how to exercise, the duration and form of exercise necessary for a healthy life, and the things to be considered while exercising. During the three-month follow-up, the subjects in the IG were called every two weeks to ask about their weight measurements, their level of exercise, and how much they walked. The subjects' questions, if any, were answered, and the interview was completed by making exercise suggestions.
