Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Those in the exercise program group will access and undertake the exercise program on a web or mobile platform for approximately 50 minutes per session, three times a week, for a total of 12 sessions over 4 weeks.
The yoga program group will access and perform the yoga program on a web or mobile platform for approximately 50 minutes per session, three times a week, for a total of 12 sessions over 4 weeks.
The self-care group will access materials helpful for stress management via a web or mobile platform and engage in self-study three times a week, for a total of 12 sessions over 4 weeks.
After completing their respective programs, participants from the exercise group, yoga group, and the self-care control group will revisit the hospital within a week to undergo the same tests as in the preliminary evaluation, excluding medical history and physical activity information. Moreover, to determine whether the effects of the exercise and yoga programs persist after the program ends, participants will return for the same tests one month after the 4-week program concludes. Using the data obtained, the study will measure the changes induced by the self-directed exercise and yoga programs on the participants' clinical scales like stress, symptoms of depression, HRV, EEG, and basic physical abilities. The effects on the improvement of psychological and physiological stress indicators of the self-care group, using stress data, will then be compared and analyzed.
