Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. To examine the effectiveness of yoga intervention as a stress reduction technique and measure its effects on the level of cortisol, immunoglobulin A (IgA), and metabolic parameters.
2. To Compare the outcomes of a yoga intervention group to a non-yoga intervention group to determine whether practicing yoga can reduce the negative impacts of elevated cortisol on the physiological parameters.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1. To determine the correlation between the psychophysiological stress and cortisol hormone in students.
2. To investigate the effect of yoga intervention on student mental health and well-being.
