Overview

This intervention study investigated the effects of 10 weekly sessions of beginner-level hatha yoga on physical fitness and physiological markers in 82 young women. The yoga group showed significant improvements in flexibility, balance, and core muscle strength compared to the control group. No changes were observed in body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, resting heart rate (HR), or heart rate variability (HRV). The findings suggest that weekly hatha yoga training can improve balance, flexibility, and core muscle strength, but longer or more intense interventions may be necessary for changes in BMI, body fat percentage, HR, and HRV.
