Sedentary life invites various diseases. Especially cardiovascular diseases are the leading ones. Researches show that the rapid development of technology has pushed people to laziness and therefore to immobility. A sedentary lifestyle causes many serious health problems. Many diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases, which are characterized as contemporary diseases, such as muscular weakness, postural disorder, and diabetes are more common in immobile and sedentary individuals.

We know that still life has some drawbacks. These may cause tissue injuries between the vertebrae and kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis problems, respectively. It may also cause calcification in the lumbar vertebrae, disc problems, risk of sciatica, and an increase in excess adipose tissue under the skin. Again high blood cholesterol and triglyceride findings and blood sugar abnormalities may occur in the blood table. Of course, the susceptibility to high blood pressure, the loss of elasticity of the rib cage, low respiratory capacity, and the risk of coronary vascular disease may be uncertain. Still life can create weak abdomen and back muscles, posture disorder, digestive and excretion difficulties, postpartum drooping abdomen, hip slope abnormality, loss of strength, flexibility and functionality in all muscle and muscle groups, weight problem and formlessness. Also in skeleton structure; osteoporosis, calcification, joint problems, easy injury, weak body, easy sickness and recovery can be observed. All these diseases are serious health problems that can be encountered in individuals who do not exercise regularly. In many developed countries of the world, people have included sports in many compulsory habits such as eating, drinking, lying, education, and worship. This compulsory exercise is a lifelong activity in humans. People who make it compulsory to exercise will feel discomfort as soon as they do not.
