研究组 & 干预措施
Yoga participant groups
Yoga participant groups will practice elderly yoga for four months. We will collect their blood before and after their participation in the elderly yoga program. There will be two subgroups which are Advanced group and Beginner group.
干预措施: Participation in the elderly yoga program (Behavioral)
Non-Yoga participant groups
Non-Yoga participant groups will not practice yoga for four months and will be used as the control. We will collect their blood before and after the elderly yoga program. There will be two subgroups which are Elderly group and Young group.
结局指标
主要结局
Measuring the number of glycoproteins in blood between before and after participation in an elderly yoga program for both the Advanced group and Beginner group
时间窗: 4 months
Glycoproteins in human plasma are known to be deeply associated with multiple diseases, cell differentiation, aging, and etc. The efficacy of elderly yoga will be assessed by identifying and comparing the number of glycoproteins in blood between before and after participation in an elderly yoga program for both the Advanced group and Beginner group.
