The study was conducted as a pilot study, taking into consideration the concept of digitally prescribed exercise through mobile devices for future therapeutic interventions. Fifteen men and women in their 20s, who were obese and experiencing stress, were subjected to a 4-week training program. They were provided with self-produced exercise videos, ranging from levels 1 to 9, which included exercises such as squats, lunges, planks, push-ups, sit-ups, leg raises, jumping jacks, and running in place. The participants trained for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, using mobile devices. The results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank nonparametric test indicated a significant decrease in body mass index (BMI). The BMI decreased from 27.22±2.90 before the intervention to 26.09±2.75 after the intervention (p=0.001). Additionally, the Korean version of the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (KPSS-10) demonstrated a significant reduction in perceived stress levels. The scores decreased from 20.00±3.66 before the intervention to 16.53±3.98 after the intervention (p=0.001). The clinical significance of these findings is that the effective exercise prescription method demonstrated in this study, utilizing mobile exercise programs, could potentially be employed as a digital therapeutic intervention in the future.
