Effectiveness of Video-based Yoga Practices on the Physical Features, Respiratory Capacity and Sleep Quality of Sedentary Women in Pandemic Days
Effectiveness of Video-based Yoga Practices on the Physical Features, Respiratory Capacity and Sleep Quality of Sedentary Women in Pandemic Days
This is an observational study aiming to Examine the effects of video-based yoga compared to face-to-face yoga and physical exercise practices on the physical features, respiratory capacity and sleep quality of sedentary women in pandemic days.
The pranayama (respiration), asana (poses), and meditation were given to the face-to-face yoga group, and the same exercises of the face-to-face yoga group were recorded in the video for the video-based yoga group. The exercises for respiration, muscle strengthening, stabilization, and flexibility were given face-to-face to the physical exercise group.

The exercises for respiration, muscle strengthening, stabilization, and flexibility were given face-to-face to the physical exercise group. The sessions for each group were given for a total of 6 weeks (2days/week) as 12 sessions, and 60 min. Their respiration (spirometer Pony-Fx), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), posture (New York Posture Rating Chart), balance (Single Leg Stance Assessment, Functional Reach Distance), functional strength (5X Sit-to-Stand test), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale) and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the 6 weeks. The data were assessed statistically.
