Brief summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of two different exercise methods (video-based game exercise group and real (non-game) exercise group) to increase knee strength in healthy individuals on muscle strength, balance and lower extremity functional parameters. In our study, it will be revealed which technique will have what effect in the strengthening, which will be done by taking certain criteria into consideration. Participants will be randomized into three different groups. Two groups, except the control group, will exercise three times a week for 6 weeks. All participants will be assessment twice in total, at the beginning of the study and 6 weeks later. It is thought that the results obtained here will contribute to the literature.

Detailed description: The study was planned to include individuals studying at Halic University, who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study. Evaluated participants will be randomly assigned to three different groups (control group, video-based game exercise group, real game-free exercise group). The sealed envelope method will be used in randomization. All evaluations by the same physiotherapist will be performed twice, before exercise and after 6 weeks of exercise. Both exercise groups will practice under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The control group will not exercise and will only be evaluated twice. At the end of the study, those in the control group will be able to participate in any exercise group they want for 6 weeks.
