Completed

• Conditions: Yoga
• Interventions: Other: High Density Exercise Training Program - Yoga

• Registration Number: NCT04658563
• Lead Sponsor: Baskent University

Brief Summary

Purpose: Specific effects of high-density Hatha Yoga(HY) training in adolescents have not yet been clarified. Aim of our study is to investigate the effects of high-density HY education on physical fitness, pulmonary function and quality of life in healthy adolescents. Methods: 28 female adolescents will be randomly divided into two groups as yoga training and control groups. Training group will receive high-density HY training for 8 weeks, two days a week under the supervision of a physiotherapist and one day a week home program. Control group will not receive any exercise. Flexibility of individuals will be determined by sit-reach, back scratching, lateral flexion tests; muscular endurance by sit-ups, sit down-stand up on chair tests, balance by time up-go test; cardiorespiratory capacity by incremental shuttle walking test(ISWT) and respiratory functions by spirometry, quality of life will be determined by with the Quality of Life Scale for Children.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 1: Yoga	High Density Exercise Training Program - Yoga	High-density HY training; average 90-110 minutes, 2 sessions per week under the supervision of the physiotherapist, once a week as a home program, will be applied for a total of 8 weeks to the first group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assessment of Health-Related Physical Fitness - Balance	8 weeks	Time up-go test will be performed to evaluate the balance levels of the patients.
Assessment of Health-Related Physical Fitness - Upper extremity flexibility	8 weeks	Lateral Flexion and Back Scratch Tests will be performed to evaluate upper extremity flexibility.
Assessment of Health-Related Physical Fitness - Lower extremity flexibility	8 weeks	Sit and Reach Test will be performed to assess lower extremity flexibility.
Cardiorespiratory endurance	8 weeks	Incremental Shuttle Walking Test: The test is controlled by audible warnings between two marked points, 9 meters apart; individuals will be asked to walk at increasing speed with stimulus, and each meter they walk will be recorded as a shuttle.
Assessment of Respiratory Functions	8 weeks	The pulmonary functions of the individuals will be evaluated in the sitting position using the portable spirometer device (COSMED, Micro Quark Spirometer, Rome, Italy) according to the ATS/ERS criteria. The individuals who participated in the study will be informed about the test before the test. The test will be repeated twice and the best results will be recorded. The individual is seated on a chair without a cuff, a latch is attached to his nose, his mouth is asked to be closed tightly so that the edges of the mouths could fully grasp the device. In respiratory function test, forced vital capacity (FVC) (Liter-L and %), first-second forced expiratory volume (FEV1)(L and %), FEV1/FVC, peak flow rate (PEF)(L/second), 25-75% of forced expiratory flow rate (FEF (25-75%)(L)), inspiratory capacity (IC) (L) and vital capasity (VC) (L) values will be recorded along with expected values and percentages by age, height, body weight and gender.
First-second forced expiratory volume (FEV1)	8 weeks	First-second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) will be measured in Liter and %.
Peak flow rate (PEF)	8 weeks	Peak flow rate (PEF) will be measured in Liter/second.
Assessment of Health-Related Physical Fitness - Endurance	8 weeks	Upper extremity muscular endurance will be evaluated by Sit-up Test and lower extremity muscular endurance by Sit up-down on Chair Test
Assessment of quality of life	8 weeks	The form which is prepared for adolescents aged 13-18 and validated and reliable in our country of The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. The 23 items of the scale developed for children aged 2-18 are scored between 0-100; the answers will be 100 if 'never' are preferred, 75 if 'rarely, 50 if 'sometimes, 25 if 'often, and 0 if 'always,. The higher the total score, the better the quality of life is.
Forced vital capacity (FVC)	8 weeks	Forced vital capacity (FVC) will be measured in Liter and %.
25-75% of forced expiratory flow rate (FEF (25-75%)	8 weeks	25-75% of forced expiratory flow rate will be measured in Liter.
Vital capacity (VC)	8 weeks	Vital capacity (VC) will be measured in Liter.
Inspiratory capacity (IC)	8 weeks	Inspiratory capacity (IC) will be measured in Liter.
