Online Physical Activity and Ergonomics Training in Physiotherapy Students Receiving Distance Education
Condition: Health Behavior; Ergonomics; Online Education
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The pandemic process has caused very important changes and effects in the economy, social
      life and education practices, especially health at global level. Within the scope of the
      measures taken, with the closure of educational institutions and interruption of face-to-face
      education, the education of 1.6 billion students, which corresponds to approximately half of
      the student population from all educational levels, has been interrupted. The need and
      approach to open and distance learning has come to the fore with significant changes and
      effects on education worldwide. Pandemic measures, the transition to distance education and
      the increase in computer usage caused an increase in ergonomic risks in students. Due to the
      pandemic process, it has been reported that the physical activity level of students decreases
      and the sitting period is prolonged. In this study, physiotherapy students who receive
      distance education will be given online ergonomics and physical activity training and the
      results will be evaluated.
