Our study will be randomized controlled. Familial Mediterranean Fever patients between the ages of 12-18 will be included in the study and will be divided into 2 groups. The first group will be applied a synchronous supervised online exercise program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, and the second group will be applied an asynchronous video-based exercise program. The exercise program will be carried out for 8 weeks, 2 days a week. There will be 3 sets, 8 repetitions in 1 set in the exercise program and will be progressed according to tolerance. In the exercise program, the synchronous group will perform the exercises with the supervision of a physiotherapist via the Zoom application, while the asynchronous video-based group will upload the exercises to the system asynchronously via a channel on YouTube that only patients can access. Feedback will be received from the asynchronous group by phone. Our exercise program will be organized with the progression of exercises such as squat, lunge, stepping, running in place and jumping. The primary outcome measures of the study are the evaluation of fatigue (VAS) and functional capacity (6-Minute Walking Test). Our secondary outcome measures are the evaluation of pain, balance, physical fitness and walking. For the assessment of fatigue: Visual Analog Scale (VAS), PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale; For the assessment of functional capacity: 6 Minute Walk Test, 30 sec Sit-to-Stand Test, 10-Step Climbing Test, Pacer aebonic fitness test, Half Squat Test; For the assessment of balance: One-Leg Stand Test, Functional Forward Reach Test, Kinvent (K-plate)-K Force measurement evaluation set, Digitsole Smart Insole System for the assessment of walking; For the assessment of physical fitness: FitnessGram test battery; For the assessment of pain: VAS will be used.

Behavioral: Synchronous exercise program
Asynchronous telerehabilitation group will be applied an asynchronous video-based exercise program.
Behavioral: Asynchronous exercise group
The synchronous exercise group will be conducted online with synchronous supervision under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The exercise program will be performed for 8 weeks, 2 days a week. In the exercise program, 3 sets, 8 repetitions in 1 set will be progressed to 10-12-15-20-25 repetitions according to tolerance. There will be a 1-2 minute rest between sets.
The Asynchronous Exercise Group will be conducted with a video-based structured exercise program. For the asynchronous video-based group, a closed channel will be created on Youtube that only patients can access, and the exercises will be uploaded to the system asynchronously. In the asynchronous exercise group, how each exercise is performed will be shown in detail by the physiotherapist in the video content.
Visuel Analog Scale
In the evaluation of patient fatigue, patients will be asked to mark on a 100 mm horizontal line. According to VAS, a 0 mm point on this line indicates no fatigue, while a 100 mm point indicates very severe fatigue.
