NCT ID NCT07006857
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether different music frequencies played during yoga-based exercises could improve physical performance and thinking skills in inactive young adults aged 18-35. Thirty healthy but inactive participants did exercises with no music, low-frequency music, or high-frequency music. Researchers measured cognitive flexibility with the Stroop Test and physical strength with sit-to-stand and wall squat tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
music at varying frequencies (396-963 Hz) combined with exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple ways to boost both physical fitness and mental sharpness in young adults who are not active.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effects of specific music frequencies are still uncertain.
