View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if yoga or stretching-strengthening exercises are more effective in sedentary young adults who are currently healthy but at risk due to inactivity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Which exercise type leads to better improvements in physical fitness, mental well-being, and sleep quality based on a person's starting profile? How do initial levels of balance and muscle strength affect how well a person responds to these exercises? Researchers will compare a yoga group to a stretching-strengthening exercise group to see if one approach is more effective than the other for specific types of individuals. Participants will: Be evaluated for their starting physical fitness (balance and strength) and psychological health. Perform either yoga or stretching-strengthening exercises regularly during the study period. Complete surveys about their mood, stress levels, and sleep quality. Be re-tested at the end of the program to measure changes and improvements.
