Intervention model description: Including healthy male individuals between the ages of 18-25. The participants will randomly be allocated three groups (TGU exercise group, core stability exercise group and control group).
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Turkish Get Up (TGU) exercise, which is one of the kettlebell exercises, is a multi-step, progression-based, functional and whole-body exercise method that includes a combination of movements such as lunge, bridge building and side plank. Strength training, dynamic flexibility exercises and strength training can be performed with the use of a kettlebell. Exercises with a kettlebell are frequently used in the fields of improving sportive performance and rehabilitation. TGU exercise can be used as a corrective exercise as well as in motion analysis and conditioning studies. TGU exercise consists of 2 stages:The first stage is performed in seven different steps: 1. Starting position, 2. Supine kettlebell lift, 3. Elbow-supported kettlebell lift, 4. Hand-supported kettlebell lift, 5. High bridge, 6. Half-kneeling and lunge position, 7. Stand up. In the second stage, the exercise is completed by performing the return of the steps in the first stage. It is thought that the deltoid, rectus abdominis, external oblique abdominis, erector spinae, gluteal muscles, quadriceps and hamstring muscles are activated during this exercise. It has been reported that with the TGU exercise, especially rotator cuff muscle strength, shoulder stability, balance and core stability can be improved.

In the literature, there are many studies examining the effects of stabilization exercises on core muscles. On the other hand, although there are studies reporting that the TGU exercise can improve core stability and shoulder stability, and studies reporting the muscular activation of the shoulder girdle muscles and some trunk muscles during the TGU exercise. To the best of our knowledge, we have not found a study examining its effectiveness on muscle activation, core stability and upper extremity performance and comparing it with any other method.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of TGU exercise and stabilization exercises on muscular activation, core stability and upper extremity performance in healthy individuals.
