In the study, after the necessary permissions are obtained, the Graded Chronic Pain Scale (ECAS) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) will be sent to the students who are studying at KTO Karatay University and whose age range is between 18-25 years. Among the students who fill out the form voluntarily, individuals who mark the 3rd or 4th option in the first question in the DKAS and who have a total score of 52 and above in the TAS-20 scale will be identified. Among these individuals, a total of 40 people will be included in the study randomly with a computer program. These participants will again be randomly divided into two groups as the control group (n=20) and the exercise group (n=20).
It was aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on pain, alexithymia level and quality of life in young alexithymic individuals with chronic pain. There is no study in the literature comparing the effectiveness of aerobic exercise on alexithymia and chronic pain. Since our study will be the first study to investigate the subject, we foresee that it is scientifically important and will shed light on future studies. In addition, it is planned to make national or international papers and publications after the study is completed.
