About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Being a healthy woman or man between the ages of 18-35 years,
  • Not having any ongoing musculoskeletal problems that prevent doing exercise/physical activity (Will be assessed with the Physical ActivityReadiness Questionnaire).
  • Being physically inactive according to the International Physical Activity Short Form
  • Being a volunteer to participate in the study.
  • Being able to read and understand Turkish.

Exclusion criteria

  • Ongoing pregnancy,
  • Having any hearing problems or colorblindness,
  • Using regular medications with potential neurological side effects (psychiatric medications, painkillers, etc.).
  • Continuing treatment due to a psychiatric diagnosis such as clinical depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.

Primary outcomes

  1. Stroop Test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Sit To Stand Test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    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.

  2. Wall Squat test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    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.

  3. Push Up Test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    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.

  4. Handgrip Electronic Dynamometer

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    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.

  5. Sit And Reach

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    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.

  6. Nelson Ruler Test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The Nelson Ruler Test evaluates hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills by having individuals use a ruler to catch it as it falls, measuring their reaction time and accuracy. Lower catching time indicate higher reaction skill.

  7. Global Scale of Change

    Time frame: 8th week

    The Global Scale of Change is a tool used to measure individual perceptions of change in various contexts, often assessing the extent of improvement or deterioration in health, function, or well-being over time.
