Abstract in brief

  • The study tested whether a 14-week yoga program followed by 3 months of home practice could improve body composition and sleep quality in obese men living in urban areas, finding that positive changes occurred during the intervention and were somewhat maintained after.
  • Results showed that yoga helped improve body composition measures (like fat and muscle) and sleep quality, although some benefits slightly decreased during the follow-up period.
  • The findings suggest that regular yoga practice may offer long-term benefits for managing obesity and enhancing sleep quality in urban male populations.]
