Brief Summary

This is an observational study aiming to Examine the effects of video-based yoga compared to face-to-face yoga and physical exercise practices on the physical features, respiratory capacity and sleep quality of sedentary women in pandemic days. The pranayama (respiration), asana (poses), and meditation were given to the face-to-face yoga group, and the same exercises of the face-to-face yoga group were recorded in the video for the video-based yoga group. The exercises for respiration, muscle strengthening, stabilization, and flexibility were given face-to-face to the physical exercise group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Respiratory Function Tests

  Respiratory Function (portable spirometer; Pony Fx, Rome, Italy) assessed according to the criteria of the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society. The deep expiration after maximal inspiration aForced Vital capacity-FVC(lts), the air volume released in the first second during forced expiration - Forced Expiratory Volume 1-FEV1(lts), the ratio of forced expiratory volume to the forced vital capacity in the first second - FEV1/FVC (%), peak expiratory flow during forced expiration - PEF (lt/sec) and vital capacity - VC (lts) are evaluated.

  2 months

• The demographic data of the participants

  The demographic data of the participants as gender, age, dominant hand, educational background, smoking status, and the number of cigarettes per day were recorded by means of a specially prepared questionnaire for this study.

  2 months

• body weight, height and body mass index of the participants

  The body weight (kilograms), height (meters) will be measured and the body mass index (kg/m2) of each participant will be recorded.

Behavioral: Sociodemographic profile, quality of life, sleep, fatigue, physical function and balance assessments; Other: Video-based yoga

Face-to-face yoga group

The pranayama (respiration), asana (poses), yoga exercises and meditation were given to face to face at Volunteer Training and Consultation Centre for 6 weeks (2days/week) as 12 sessions, and 60 min.

Behavioral: Sociodemographic profile, quality of life, sleep, fatigue, physical function and balance assessments; Other: Face-to-face yoga

physical exercise

The exercises for respiration, muscle strengthening, stabilization, and flexibility were given face-to-face at Volunteer Training and Consultation Centre for 6 weeks (2days/week) as 12 sessions, and 60 min.

Behavioral: Sociodemographic profile, quality of life, sleep, fatigue, physical function and balance assessments; Other: physical exercise

Interventions

Sociodemographic profile, quality of life, sleep, fatigue, physical function and balance assessments BEHAVIORAL

Respiratory functions are assessed with a portable spirometer according to the criteria of the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society. Measures the physical, mental, social, and environmental well-being were tested to understand the quality of life. The quality of sleep, delayed sleep, sleep disorders, usage of sleeping pills, and loss of functionality during the day were assessed. The balance and static standing capability of the participants were tested. The functional reach of participants were tested by expecting them to lean forwardly as far as they can without taking a step, nor rising their heels. The fatigue feeling of the participants as everyday life were assessed. The posture of the participants was assessed on 13 regions at anterior, posterior and lateral views.
