Abstract
This experimental study aimed to examine the effects of asana yoga training on blood glucose levels and muscle mass among individuals with hyperglycemia. The sample consisted of 31 participants, divided into an experimental group (n=16) and a control group (n=15). The asana yoga training program wasvalidated for content validity with an overall IOC value of 0.83. Assessments were conducted at 8 and 12 weeks, including muscle mass measurement using Dexa Scan, blood glucose parameters, and leg muscle strength testing using an isokinetic device. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in blood glucose levels between the groups (p > .05); however, the experimental group showed smaller increases in glucose levels compared to the control group. Notably, leg flexion strength in the experimental group significantly improved (p = 0.045), and total muscle mass demonstrated a tendency to increase over the long term. In conclusion, asana yoga training contributes to muscle mass enhancement and may promote better glucose utilization, although blood glucose
levels did not significantly decrease within the 12-week intervention period.
