The aim of the study was to determine the rehabilitative effects of 12-week variable intensity swimming exercises on the cardiovascular system in women with diastolic dysfunction. Studies on how variable intensity swimming exercises contribute to the course of the disease in sedentary women with cardiovascular problems are limited. Previous studies generally consisted of studies on the effects of exercise applications on the cardiovascular system in different branches and their effects were determined.

The aim of this observational study was to examine the clinical and functional characteristics of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department of a university hospital. In line with this purpose, the following research questions were given.
What are the respiratory functions and respiratory rates of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What are the muscle strengths of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the general health status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the quality of life of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the fatigue status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the level of independence of patients hospitalized in daily living activities of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What are the routine blood values of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the sleep quality of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What are the physical activity levels of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the balance status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the neuropathic pain status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? The patients hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of Uşak Education and Research Hospital constitute the sample of the study. Clinical and functional evaluations will be made from the participants during their hospital stay. In this context, respiration, muscle strength, general pain assessment, life expectancy, fatigue, independence levels, sleep quality, routine blood values, physical activity levels, balance status and neuropathic status evaluation will be made.

This case-control study will evaluate the effects of geriatric individuals on cognitive status, physical function and fatigue. Our study aims to compare the effects of geriatric individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes with healthy geriatric individuals on cognitive status, physical function and fatigue. Accordingly, the hypotheses of the study are as follows:
Hypothesis 1: Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Negatively Affect Cognitive Status in Geriatric Individuals.
Hypothesis 2: Physical Function Loss is More Pronounced in Individuals with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.
Hypothesis 3: Fatigue Level Will Increase in Geriatric Individuals with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.
Hypothesis 4: There Will Be a Correlation Between the Effects of Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes on Cognitive Status, Physical Function and Fatigue.
Hypothesis 5: Severity of Diabetes (Prediabetes vs. Type 2 Diabetes) Will Create Differences in Cognitive, Physical and Fatigue Status.
Prediabetic, diabetic and healthy volunteers constitute the universe of the study. There will be 4 different groups in the study. These groups are; those with normal range of Hemoglobin A1c Levels (HbA1c) between 4% and 5.6% for people without diabetes (Healthy), those with HbA1c level between 5.7% and 6.4%, those with prediabetes (Impaired Glucose Tolerance), those with 6.5% - 7.5% and those with HbA1c level above 7.5. Cognitive status, physical functions, dual task performance, motor motor and motor cognitive performances, fatigue, reaction reactions, directional skills of elderly individuals will be compared between these groups.
