Brief Summary

The menstrual cycle is one of the most important signs of a functioning reproductive system in women, but sometimes this cycle is associated with signs and symptoms that cause physical and psychological problems for women. Considering the high prevalence of PMS among women and the complications of this syndrome on work performance, social and interpersonal relationships and family, and its role in limiting education, social and economic progress in society, 8 weeks of online yoga exercises given online to female students were helpful in reducing PMS symptoms The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and effect on inflammation parameters. The study was planned as an interventional, single-blind, randomized controlled study. The sample size of this study was calculated based on the latest research available on the effect of exercise on PMS (Kamalifard et al.2017). A power analysis was performed in student PMS scores between exercise and control groups and to expect a difference of 80% strength and α = 0.50 and 30%. 80% power (1 - ß) minimum 18 students for each group, total 36 students will be included in the sample.
