About this study
Official title: The Influence of Hatha Yoga Duration on Pulmonary Function in Sedentary Youth: An Acute and Four-Week Intervention Study
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

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
long duration Hatha YogaOther
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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking a deep breath measured using spirometry
Measured: at baseline and end of 4 week
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
spirometry will be used to measure Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1). It is the volume of air (in liters) exhaled in the first second during forced exhalation after maximal inspiration.
Measured: at baseline and end of 4 week

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (time frame: at baseline and end of 4 week). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2024.
