Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to to investigate the acute and chronic effects of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) exercise program with different durations (60 min and 30 min) on pulmonary function in sedentary young individuals.. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does a four-week hatha yoga (HY) more effective than 30 min of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) and the control group in improving the pulmonary function? Researchers will compare a four-week OF 60 min duration hatha yoga (HY) , 30 min duration of HY and control to see the differences in the pulmonary function among high school sedentary students

Participants will:

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

1. 60-minute Hatha Yoga group (60mHY, n=21)
2. 30-minute Hatha Yoga group (30mHY, n=21)
3. Control group (CG, n=21)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective: To investigate the acute and chronic effects of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) exercise program with different durations (60 minutes and 30 minutes) on pulmonary function in sedentary young individuals aged 15-16 years.

Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Participants:

• Sample Size: 52 sedentary individuals

Inclusion Criteria:

* High school adolescence
* Showed Sedentary lifestyle (defined as not participating in regular physical activity for at least 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any known history of pulmonary, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal conditions that would contraindicate exercise,
* participation in any other exercise program during the study period
* obesity (BMI \> 25.00)
* Participants who are in medication that stimulate the heart of medication such as antibiotic use were excluded from the study

Randomization:

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

4\. 60-minute Hatha Yoga group (60mHY, n=21) 5. 30-minute Hatha Yoga group (30mHY, n=21) 6. Control group (CG, n=21)

Intervention:

* 60mHY Group: Participants will undergo a 60-minute hatha yoga session twice a week for four weeks.
* 30mHY Group: Participants will undergo a 30-minute hatha yoga session twice a week for four weeks.
* Control Group: Participants will receive information about physical activity guidelines but will not engage in any structured yoga exercise during the study period.

Outcome Measures:

• Primary Outcome: Pulmonary function measured by spirometry.

60-minute Hatha Yoga group

• 60mHY Group: Participants will undergo a 60-minute hatha yoga session twice a week for four weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

short duration Hatha Yoga

Intervention Type OTHER

30-minute Hatha Yoga group

• 30mHY Group: Participants will undergo a 30-minute hatha yoga session twice a week for four weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

long duration Hatha Yoga

Intervention Type OTHER

60 min of Hatha yoga for 4 weeks. Week One:Participants begin with foundational breathing and yoga practicesOn the second day, Square Breathwork is introduced to foster calm and concentration. After a warm-up, the yoga flow focuses on heart openers to increase chest and shoulder flexibility, ending with a soothing cool-down. Week Two:Advanced breathing techniques and targeted yoga flows are introduced. The second session includes Nadi Shodhana to balance the nervous system. Week Three:The focus remains on heart openers with varied breathing exercises. The second day revisits Full Yogic Breath, followed by a warm-up and another heart opener sequence, concluding with a cool-down. Week Four:The final week integrates additional breathing techniques. The last session features Kapalabhati and Suddhi Pranayama to purify and energize the body. After a warm-up, participants engage in a well-rounded yoga flow combining various poses to enhance overall fitness, concluding with a final cool-down.

Control group

• Control Group: Participants will receive information about physical activity guidelines but will not engage in any structured yoga exercise during the study period.
