Brief summary: The goal of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effect of the online exercise program on core stabilization and vertical jump performance and observe the relationship between physical activity levels and motivation. In addition, compare these parameters with the exercise group and control group. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does a 6-week online exercise program at university have an effect on core stabilization and vertical jump? Does exercise have an effect on motivation and physical activity level?

Detailed description: Background: The importance of physical activity and exercise is increasing day by day. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the online exercise program on core stabilization and vertical jump performance and observe relationship with physical activity levels and motivation.

Methods: The study included 51 healthy volunteer students registered at Fenerbahçe University and actively continuing their education. Evaluations were made before the exercise program and at the end of the sixth week. All assessments and exercise program were conducted online. Two of Mcgill's trunk muscle endurance tests were preferred to evaluate core stability: Trunk extensor endurance test (TEET), bilateral side bridge endurance tests (SBET), and Prone Bridge Test (PBT) was preferred for flexor endurance. Vertical Jump (VJ) test was used to evaluate vertical jump height performance. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) was used to determine the physical activity levels of individuals, and the Physical Activity Participation Motivation Scale (MSPPA) was used to measure their motivation to participate in physical activity.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being an university student
* Having a good health
* Participant in ages between 18-27 years of age
* Participating to the study in a voluntary basis

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having had orthopedic surgery in the last 60 days
* Severe neurological or vestibular disease that would interfere with exercise
* Taking any medications that could affect balance
