简要总结
In recent years, there is growing interest in illustrating the health benefits of exercise among epilepsy. Although exercise is recommended for patients with epilepsy, there is uncertainty concerning the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise on multiple health outcomes in epilepsy. The aim of this trial is to examine the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise training on physical activity, health-related physical fitness, mental, emotional, and psychological health status, seizure frequency and quality of life.

研究组 & 干预措施
Yoga
Participants allocated to the yoga group will receive the yoga-based intervention through an internet-based video conference remotely in real-time. Each class will accommodate a maximum of 5 subjects. A qualified physiotherapist who was a certificated yoga instructor will teach in these classrooms. The 8-week exercise intervention consists of three times per week sessions of yoga.
干预措施: Exercise training (Other)
Aerobic exercise
Participants of the aerobic exercise group will be requested to perform unsupervised aerobic training in the home environment (e.g., at home, park, backyard, or in the local gym). The 8-week exercise intervention consists of three times per week sessions of aerobic exercise. Training will consist of a 10-min warm-up period, aerobic activity, and 5-min cool-down period.
干预措施: Exercise training (Other)
Wait-list
Participants in the wait-list group will be advised to continue their habitual physical activity next to usual medical care. A yoga or aerobic exercise program of 8 weeks will be offered after the ending of the study period.
