Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stroop Test | 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Squat test | 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. |
| Push Up Test | 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. |
| Handgrip Electronic Dynamometer | 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. |
| Sit To Stand Test | 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. |
| Nelson Ruler Test | 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. |
| Global Scale of Change | 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. |
| Sit And Reach | 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. |
