Summary

This study tests a 12-week physical activity program for children aged 6-10 living in temporary container cities after the February 2023 earthquakes in Turkey. The program includes fun, age-appropriate exercises guided by physiotherapists. Researchers will measure changes in the children's physical fitness, anxiety, depression, stress, and quality of life, comparing them to a group that does not receive the program. The goal is to create a model that can be used in future disasters to support children's health.
