Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of a structured yoga intervention on multidimensional health outcomes in older adults with sleep disturbances. A total of 62 participants aged 60 years and older with varying degrees of sleep disorders were recruited and randomly assigned to either a yoga intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received a standardized yoga program for 4 months, conducted twice weekly (60 minutes per session), and guided by certified instructors. The yoga intervention included physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation/relaxation techniques. Health outcomes were assessed at baseline, mid-intervention (8 weeks), and post-intervention (16 weeks), across five domains: sleep quality, daytime functioning, cognitive performance, physical fitness, and emotional well-being. This study aims to explore the feasibility, safety, and integrative effects of yoga as a non-pharmacological intervention for promoting health in the aging population.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 Months Post-Intervention, and 4 Months Post-Intervention
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an internationally recognized self-rated questionnaire used to assess subjective sleep quality. A higher total score indicates poorer sleep quality. It encompasses seven components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. This study assesses changes in the PSQI total score to determine the impact of yoga intervention on the overall sleep status of older adults with sleep disorders.
