Primary outcomes

1. Change from Baseline in Biopsychosocial Exercise Therapy Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) at 12 weeks

   Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

   The Biopsychosocial Exercise Therapy Questionnaire (BETY-BQ), consists of 30 questions. Each of the items on the scale is scored between 0-and 4 in accordance with the Likert system. A higher score indicates a poor biopsychosocial status (4: Yes always, 3: Yes often, 2: Yes sometimes, 1: Yes rarely, 0: No, never).

It includes seven statements on each disorder, and each response consists of a four-point rating scale (0 to 3); a higher score depicts a worse condition. For each subscale, the total score is at most 21. A score of ≥11 is considered a clinically significant disorder, whereas a score between 8 and 10 suggests a mild disorder.

4. Change from Baseline in FRAIL scale at 12 weeks

   Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

   The FRAIL scale is a clinical frailty screening tool. It consists of five components: Fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight (score range 0-5), and evaluates the status and severity of frailty. The presence of ≥3 components in a participants is considered frailty, while the presence of more components indicates more serious vulnerability.

5. Change from Baseline in Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) scale at 12 weeks

   Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

   The Clinical Frailty Scale is an inclusive 9-point scale to summarize the overall level of fitness or frailty of participants. The scale can be easily applied to the participants. İt is based on a subjective clinical assessment categorized by the investigators. A clinical fragile scale score greater than four is to be fragility and clinical indicator. Higher scores mean greater risk.
