Comparison of the Effects of Green Exercise Programs Including Resistance and Aerobic Exercises

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
It was aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise and resistance exercises performed together with aerobic exercise, applied in the concept of green exercise with a multidisciplinary team (specialist doctors physiotherapists, nurses) on senior fitness, aerobic capacity and IC in individuals aged 65 and over.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The study is a multicenter, parallel three-group, randomized controlled study conducted to examine the effects of aerobic and resistance exercises applied within the framework of green exercise concept on physical fitness, aerobic capacity and intrinsic capacity. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise and resistance exercises performed together with aerobic exercise, applied in the concept of green exercise with a multidisciplinary team (specialist doctors physiotherapists, nurses) on senior fitness, aerobic capacity and IC in individuals aged 65 and over.
