Telerehabilitation-Based Yoga Versus Yoga-Pranayama in University Students
Sponsor: Istanbul Gelisim University
Summary
This study will compare two online exercise programs for university students: yoga alone and yoga combined with breathing exercises called pranayama. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and will attend online sessions three times a week for four weeks. The study will examine whether these programs reduce anxiety and improve the mechanical properties of the neck muscles. Muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity will be measured using the MyotonPRO device. Anxiety and neck-related problems will also be assessed before and after the program. The study will also investigate whether adding pranayama breathing exercises provides greater benefits than yoga alone.
