Different interventions such as strength training, endurance training and yoga have been used in the management of these problems. The first specific exercise program for professional orchestra musicians was developed by Chan et al. However, it has been stated that it is difficult to encourage musicians' participation in exercise due to their constantly changing work schedules, and at this point, the use of digital media such as DVDs, USBs, and educational exercise videos may have a potential role.On the other hand, it has been stated that smart wearable devices with mobile applications (such as smart watches, smart band) as digital health interventions are an interesting, interactive and efficient psychological strategy to promote physical activity and can be used as an intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle. Based on the literature, in our study, the exercise program developed by Chan et al., will be done online via "Google Meet" and symptoms can be evaluated with objective evaluation methods. Unlike other studies using digital media, exercises will be performed synchronously and feedback will be given to the musicians simultaneously, as in face-to-face exercises. In addition, all participants will be given a smart band, they will be encouraged to use it until the end of the study, and the change in their physical activity levels will be evaluated., conditionsModule conditions: Musculoskeletal Diseases or Conditions, conditions: Musculoskeletal Pain, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 38, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: The exercise program, interventions name: Online education presentation, interventions name: Smart band, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Musculoskeletal problems, primaryOutcomes measure: Muscle oxygenation, primaryOutcomes measure: Pressure pain threshold, primaryOutcomes measure: Reaction time, primaryOutcomes measure: Grip strength, secondaryOutcomes measure: Upper extremity function, secondaryOutcomes measure: Physical activity level, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Bursa Regional State Symphony Orchestra, status: RECRUITING, city: Bursa, zip: 16000, country: Turkey, contacts name: Umut Çanakçı, Musician, role: CONTACT, phone: +90 (224) 225 59 70, contacts name: Sule Kecelioglu, MSc, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Selnur Narin Aral, Assoc.
