Flexibility Exercises, Created by AI and Humans, on Office Workers' Flexibility, Back-health and Muscle-stiffness.

Sponsor: Erzurum Technical University

Summary

While the benefits of flexibility exercises for office workers are well known, there is no randomized controlled comparison to determine whether these exercises can be delivered more effectively and safely by a specialist or by an automated artificial intelligence algorithm. Furthermore, considering the dynamic programming potential of artificial intelligence, determining whether this method can provide results similar to or superior to traditional methods is critical for the development of future healthcare models. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effects of 15-minute home-based flexibility exercises derived by artificial intelligence and produced by humans, administered over a 4-week period, on office workers' overall flexibility, back health, and muscle stiffness levels. This study is a two-armed, single-blind randomized controlled trial. Participants will be blinded to which group they are assigned to. This study will be respond "Are flexibility exercises generated by artificial intelligence more effective than human-generated flexibility exercises" question. During the study, participants who sign the volunteer information form and consent form and meet the inclusion criteria will be divided equally into two groups using a simple random method (coin toss): * Group A: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Flexibility Group. * Group B: Human Expert-Based Flexibility Group. Intervention programs will include a standardized 15-minute flexibility exercise program will be automatically generated for each participant via Gemini, an AI-powered platform for group A, and a 15-minute program consisting of standardized flexibility exercises modified for each participant created by two qualified physiotherapists, based on calisthenic exercises (using body weight). This program will target the same muscle groups as the AI group's program and will be of similar duration. The exercise program will last a total of 4 weeks. Participants will exercise 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for 15 minutes a day in their own environment.
