Statistical analysis
IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26.0 was used to analyze the data. The demographic characteristics of the participants were described using descriptive statistics. In this study, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a mixed design of 2 (group: yoga group, control group) × 2 (time: pretest, posttest) was used to analyze the effects of the yoga intervention on the balance ability and flexibility of female college students seriously affected by COVID-19 and to verify whether yoga can be used as a primary method of home exercise for female college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A value of p < 0.05 was considered significant.
