Intervention model description: Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

1. 60-minute Hatha Yoga group (60mHY, n=21)
2. 30-minute Hatha Yoga group (30mHY, n=21)
3. Control group (CG, n=21)
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to to investigate the acute and chronic effects of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) exercise program with different durations (60 min and 30 min) on pulmonary function in sedentary young individuals.. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does a four-week hatha yoga (HY) more effective than 30 min of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) and the control group in improving the pulmonary function? Researchers will compare a four-week OF 60 min duration hatha yoga (HY) , 30 min duration of HY and control to see the differences in the pulmonary function among high school sedentary students

Participants will:

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

Detailed description: Objective: To investigate the acute and chronic effects of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) exercise program with different durations (60 minutes and 30 minutes) on pulmonary function in sedentary young individuals aged 15-16 years.

Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)

Participants:

• Sample Size: 52 sedentary individuals

Inclusion Criteria:

* High school adolescence
* Showed Sedentary lifestyle (defined as not participating in regular physical activity for at least 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any known history of pulmonary, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal conditions that would contraindicate exercise,
* participation in any other exercise program during the study period
* obesity (BMI \> 25.00)
* Participants who are in medication that stimulate the heart of medication such as antibiotic use were excluded from the study

Randomization:

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

4. 60-minute Hatha Yoga group (60mHY, n=21) 5. 30-minute Hatha Yoga group (30mHY, n=21) 6. Control group (CG, n=21)

Intervention:

* 60mHY Group: Participants will undergo a 60-minute hatha yoga session twice a week for four weeks.
* 30mHY Group: Participants will undergo a 30-minute hatha yoga session twice a week for four weeks.
* Control Group: Participants will receive information about physical activity guidelines but will not engage in any structured yoga exercise during the study period.

Outcome Measures:

• Primary Outcome: Pulmonary function measured by spirometry.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:
