In recent years, there is growing interest in illustrating the health benefits of exercise among epilepsy. Although exercise is recommended for patients with epilepsy, there is uncertainty concerning the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise on multiple health outcomes in epilepsy. The aim of this trial is to examine the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise training on physical activity, health-related physical fitness, mental, emotional, and psychological health status, seizure frequency and quality of life.
