What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hatha YogaOther
Hatha yoga is the most commonly practiced form of yoga in Western cultures - combines physical postures, mindful breathing, and meditation. Hatha yoga training comprised the following yoga poses: easy pose 1 min; breathing exercises 5 min; sun salutation 5 min; yoga relaxation 2 min; supported shoulder stand 1 min; fish pose 1 min; head knee pose 1 min; cobra 1 min; sitting half spinal twist 1 min; standing forward bend 1 min; extended triangle pose 1 min; yoga relaxation 5 min; breathing exercises 4 min; and easy pose 1 min.
Zumba ExerciseOther
Group A -Hatha Yoga with Zumba Exercise Group A was treated with Hatha Yoga and Zumba exercise for four weeks. Treatment was given by researcher himself.
For Zumba exercise, patients were instructed to:
(i) A warm up of 10 min with choreographies principally based on mobility, short displacements, and dynamic stretching (music from 125 to 135 bpm) (ii) A main part (40-45 min) based on the combination of different choreographies with Latin rhythms (merengue, salsa, reggae ton, music from 140 to 180 bpm) (iii) A final cool down (5-10 min) with choreographies based on soft Latin rhythms (salsa, music from 120-135 bpm) combined with breathing and stretching movements.
(iv) All participants performed the Zumba Fitness sessions at the same time.(Barranco-Ruiz and Villa-González, 2020) Treatment frequency was two times a week. After four weeks treatment, the patient came for follow up at 6th week for final assessment.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Zumba exercise | Experimental | Zumba exercises combine many sports steps that are easy to apply and help a person move many body muscles, such as arms, back, legs, and chest. Zumba exercises use physical strength, and all parts of the body are moved from head to toe. Zumba has a positive contribution to weight loss.This physical activity improves hormonal profile and reproductive function. In people undertaking physical activity regularly, under the influence of physical exercises, stress decreases, there is a lower increase in emotional tension.
