| Περίληψη: | Context: The selection of a control group should foremost be determined by the study's primary intended outcome and trial design. When examining the effects of the physical movements that comprise yoga postures, an active control group, with physical exercise as the control, is often recommended. Objective: The current study aimed to define an active control group that participates in physical exercise, emphasizing the importance of matching the exercise's volume to that of an intervention group's yoga, and to provide a tangible example from a federally funded, recently completed, randomized controlled trial. Design: The research team designed a control group, providing a case study as a example of it. Setting: The study took place at Colorado State University. Intervention: The exercise component for the control group included 60 minutes of low-intensity exercise, matched with 60 minutes of Hatha yoga for the intervention group. Because the intervention included chronic pain self-management in addition to the exercise component, the education component for the control group included 45 minutes of group-based, general health-and-wellness education and discussion. Conclusions: Future randomized trials for yoga and other complementary or integrative health interventions should continue to use appropriate active control groups, which will serve to enhance the scientific rigor of conclusions that can be drawn with respect to the effectiveness of these interventions. |
