Brief summary
Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), mainly affecting the axial skeleton and sacroiliac joints, is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease that causes structural and functional disorders. Exercise has a significant role to play in managing treatments. This study aimed to determine the effect of yoga-based exercises combined with aerobic exercise on spinal mobility, disease activity and aerobic capacity in AxSpA.
Detailed description
The study included 60 AxSpA patients according to ASAS criteria. Patients will be divided into two groups randomised. Group 1 (n=30) received only aerobic exercise, group 2 (n=30) received aerobic exercise and yoga exercises will be applied. Aerobic exercise intensity will be measured by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). determined. Aerobic exercises will be performed with a lower extremity ergometer for 30 minutes and 12 sessions. In group 2, in addition to aerobic exercises, spinal stretching, relaxation, respiration and meditation will be performed. A yoga-based exercise programme consisting of exercises will be applied for 40 minutes and 12 sessions. Functional capacity before and after treatment, 6-min walk test (6MWT) and VO2 maximum and disease activity will be assessed by ASDAS-CRP. Clinical measurements Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQL) scale will be used. Fibromyalgia symptom severity scale and widespread pain index scores will be calculated.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VO2 max | six week | VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion |
| Six minute walk test | six week | The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity |
Secondary
