Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The study will be carried out with healthy students between the ages of 18-25 years who are studying at Ege University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and who voluntarily agree to participate in the study. Informed consent form will be signed before the evaluation of the individuals. The study will be carried out as a single group with the inclusion of a total of 20 individuals. The students who volunteered to participate in the study will actively apply the selected PNF upper extremity patterns for 4 weeks and will be evaluated twice, before and after the application. Demographic information of the individuals; age, height, weight, gender, background, surname, smoking habit, alcohol habit, education level (class), sports habit, COVID-19 disease status and when it occurred will be recorded. Cosmed pulmonary function test device will be used to evaluate the respiratory function of the individuals, Oncomed brand electronic body weight and height measurement device will be used to calculate the body mass index. Body Image Perception Scale will be used for body image perception, Beck Depression Inventory will be used to evaluate psychological status, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale will be used to evaluate sense of self.
