dc.description.abstractPurpose: Physical exercising is a reliable method to improve clinical symptoms, the quality of life and depressive symptoms in people with schizophrenia. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of yoga on the quality of life, fatigue and dynamic balance in people with schizophrenia.Methods: Thirty-two outpatient individuals aged 18-65 years, diagnosed with schizophrenia by psychiatrist were included in the study. The individuals were randomly divided into two groups: yoga and control groups. Yoga was applied to the yoga group two times a week for a total of 12 weeks by a physiotherapist trained and experienced in yoga. The individuals were evaluated by researcher who does not know which group the participants are from at beginning and the end of 12 weeks. The fatigue severity was evaluated with the Fatigue Severity Scale, the quality of life was evaluated with the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-BREF Turkish version, balance and functional mobility were evaluated with the Timed up and Go Test.Results: The mean ages of yoga and control groups were as 38.11±12.46 and 41.53±11.44 years respectively. As result of statistical analysis, there was a difference in the physical health parameter of the quality of life between the groups before and after treatment (p<0.05). When the groups were compared within themselves, a significant positive change was observed in the yoga group in terms of balance values (p<0.05).Conclusion: It was determined that yoga improved dynamic balance in people with schizophrenia, and increased their physical health, which is a sub-parameter of life quality.
