| Abstract | This study aimed to compare the effects of resistance band training and yoga on flexibility and muscular strength in female volunteers aged 18–25 years. A total of 20 participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 performed resistance band training (n = 10), and Group 2 practiced yoga (n = 10). Both groups underwent an 8-week training program. Flexibility was assessed using the sit-and-reach test, upper-body strength was evaluated via handgrip strength, and lower-body strength was measured using a leg extension force test. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests for within-group comparisons and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for between-group comparisons, controlling for pre-test scores as covariates at a significance level of .05.The results showed statistically significant improvements in flexibility, handgrip strength, and leg extension strength within both groups (p < .001). Post-intervention comparisons revealed that the yoga group demonstrated significantly greater flexibilityand leg strength than the resistance band group (p = .015 and .006, respectively), whereas no significant difference was found in handgrip strength between groups (p = .300). In conclusion, yoga training was more effective in enhancing flexibility and lower-body strength, while resistance band training was effective for overall strength development. Both training methods can be appropriately selected based on individual fitness goals and preferences. |
