Descrição
Inclusion Criteria:
- Community dwelling men and women volunteers, aged 65 years or older.
Exclusion Criteria:
Safety exclusions:
--the following safety exclusions are adopted in order to decrease potential *cardiovascular
- musculoskeletal
- neurological risks to the participants:
- active angina
- uncontrolled hypertension (SBP greater than 160 or DBP greater than 90)
- high resting pulse or respiratory rate (HR >90 or RR>24 after 5 minutes seated)

- unstable ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, or wrist joints
- hemiparesis or paraparesis
- movement disorders (e.g. Parkinson's disease), peripheral neuropathies, stroke with residual deficits, severe vision or hearing problems
- walker or wheelchair use
- insufficient hearing to permit safety in a yoga group setting
- not able to attend in-person classes
- has not had check-up by regular provider within 12 months (if not taking any prescription medications) or in the past 6 months (if any regular medicines taken); cannot pass specific movement safety tests (tests described in section on screening visits, below)
Feasibility/adherence exclusions:
- unable to understand their commitment to the project, (laboratory visits & regular program participation)
- cognitive limitations significant enough to preclude informed consent or to raise concerns about participation safety

Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
time to stand and sit from a chair 5 times
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
In the 5-Repetition Chair Stand Test, we record the time it takes for a participant to repeatedly stand and sit on a chair 5 times.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
number of heel-rise repetitions
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
The Heel-Rise Test is a measure of plantar-flexion endurance.
Here, we record the number of full range-of-motion, heel-rise repetitions the participants can complete before fatigue.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Time to complete Up & Go test
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
In the Up & Go Test, a measure of mobility, we record the number of seconds it takes to rise from a chair, walk 8 feet, return and sit in the chair.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Number of marching steps completed within 2 minutes
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
In the 2-Minute Step Test, a measure stepping endurance, we record the number of complete marching steps the participant can perform within a 2-minute period
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Distance participant can reach forward from a sitting position
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
The sit and reach test measures overall sagittal-plane flexibility.
The participant is asked to reach as far as possible toward their dominant limb while remaining seated.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Distance between fingers of opposing hands as participant attempts to touch fingers while reaching posteriorly.
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
The Back Scratch Test measures upper extremity flexibility.
Here the distance between finger-tips is recorded as the participant reaches posteriorly and attempts to touch opposing hands.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Maximum passive wrist flexion, extension, radial-deviation, and ulnar-deviation, range of motion (in degrees).
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
These tests measure the range of motion of the wrist in the sagittal and frontal planes.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Maximum height participant can reach while standing
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
Here we quantify the maximum vertical height participants can reach while standing.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Maximum distance participant can reach forward while standing
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
THe Maximum Forward Reach test is a measure of strength and flexibility.
Here we record the maximum distance the participant can reach forward while standing.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
stride length during walking
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
Here we quantify the stride length of participants during walking at a self-selected pace.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Maximum joint angle
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
Here we quantify the maximum joint angles of the ankle, knee, hip, trunk, shoulder, elbow, and wrist during performance of the yoga poses.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Sway distance of the center of pressure
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
Here we quantify the movement of the center of pressure as participants stand as still as possible
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
Electromyographic activity of muscles
Prazo: baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
Here we record the electromyographic activity of the Anterior Deltoid, Triceps surae, Obliques, Rectus Abdominus, Erector Spinae, Gluteus Maximus, Lateral Hamstrings, Vastus Lateralis, Gastrocnemius, and Gluteus Medius, muscles during performance of the yoga poses.
|
baseline, 16 and 32 weeks
|
|
SF-36 score
Prazo: baseline and 36 weeks
|
Health related quality of life and mood will be assessed with the RAND Short Form-36 (Hays, 1993).
The SF-36 includes sub-scales that measure: 1) health-related limitations in physical function; 2) health-related limitations in role and in social function; 3) emotional function (including positive and negative mood states); 4) pain.
