Tele-Yoga for Inactive Students With Musculoskeletal Pain

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a tele-yoga program on pain, functionality, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality in university students with musculoskeletal pain and low levels of physical activity. Methods: A total of 56 university students participated in the study (tele-yoga group: n=31; control group: n=25). The tele-yoga group received a standardized, supervised group-based tele-rehabilitation program delivered via videoconferencing, three times per week for four weeks. Participants performed the exercises in their own environments. No exercise intervention was applied to the control group. The same assessment protocol was conducted before and after the intervention in both groups.
