About this study

For virtual reality applications, a screen will be worn on the user's head that provides a three-dimensional visual image, thus creating a sense of space and depth. Blood glucose levels, vital signs and oxygen consumption capacity measurements will be monitored with the smart watch throughout the VR exercise application.

Primary outcomes

  1. Glycemic Control Analysis

    Time frame: 3 months

    HbA1c levels of patients in the intervention and control groups will be checked

  2. Analysis of Body Composition Values

    Time frame: 3 months

    Body analysis will be performed with a validated device. The patient will be measured before and after exercise and fat mass, lean mass, muscle mass, visceral fat ratio and basal metabolic rate will be measured by the device.

  3. fat mass

    Time frame: 3 months

    patients will be tested for fat mass on the device

  4. lean mass

    Time frame: 3 months

    patients will have a device to check their lean mass.

  5. muscle mass

    Time frame: 3 months

    patients' muscle mass will be checked with the device

  6. visceral fat content

    Time frame: 3 months

    patients will be tested for visceral fat with the device

  7. basal metabolic rate

    Time frame: 3 months

    patients' basal metabolic rate will be monitored with the device

Secondary outcomes

  1. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    As the score of the answers to the questions increases, the level of depression, anxiety and stress increases. A score of 5 points or more in the depression sub-dimension, 4 points or more in anxiety, and 8 points or more in stress indicates that the individual has a related problem.

  2. SF-36 Quality of Life Scale

    Time frame: 3 months

    The scale, which includes thirty-six statements, is a multi-item scale assessing 8 health concepts (physical function, physical role, fitness/fatigue, pain, general health perception, social function, emotional role, mental health) and 2 main topics (physical dimension and mental dimension).

  3. Satisfaction Survey

    Time frame: 3 months

    There are 11 questions to evaluate the satisfaction of the patients about VR application and to question the conditions such as headache, dizziness, eye fatigue, disorientation, vertigo, loss of skin color, nausea and vomiting that may develop due to the use of virtual reality goggles.
