The Effect of Bike Exercise on Joint and Muscles

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The design of our study is a prospective. It is planned to be completed in twenty-four weeks with 34 participants. The main purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effects of two different bike exercises on knee joint and lower extremity muscles by ultrasonographic method.
