Overview

This study will explore the impact of different music frequencies applied during yoga based exercises on physical performance and cognitive status in inactive young adults.

This study will explore the impact of different music frequencies applied during yoga based exercises on physical performance and cognitive status in inactive young adults aged between 18-35 years. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned into three groups: low-medium frequency music, high frequency music, and a control group without music.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Stroop Test

The Stroop Test is a psychological assessment that measures cognitive flexibility and processing speed by requiring individuals to name the color of the ink used for words that represent different colors, which can create interference. Lower test completion duration indicate better cognitive flexibility.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Sit To Stand Test

The Sit to Stand Test is a physical assessment that evaluates lower body strength and balance by measuring how many times a person can stand up from a seated position and sit back down in a set time period. Higher repetions indicate better body strength.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Wall Squat test

The Wall Squat Test measures lower body endurance by assessing how long an individual can maintain a squat position against a wall with their back for a specified duration. Higher duration for test completation indicate good body endurance.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Push Up Test

The Push Up Test evaluates upper body strength and endurance by counting the maximum number of push-ups a person can perform in a set time or until exhaustion. Higher numbers show better strength and endurance.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Handgrip Electronic Dynamometer

The Handgrip Electronic Dynamometer measures grip strength by quantifying the force exerted when a person squeezes a handheld device, providing an objective assessment of hand and forearm strength. In scoring, higher kilograms that assessed indicate better strength.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Sit And Reach

Sit And Reach measures flexibility and hamstring length by determining how far a person can reach toward their toes while sitting with legs extended. the reached distance is assessed with measuring tape in centimeter. Exceeding toes is showed in positive values and not reaching toes is showed in negative values. Reaching far away from the foot toes indicate better flexibility, and scored with positive values.
