This study aims to evaluate the effects of music therapy awareness, mindfulness-based breathing, and core exercises on stress, resilience, and relaxation in university students. Stress is highly prevalent in this population and can negatively affect both academic performance and physical and psychological health. By combining music therapy with breathing and core exercises, the study seeks to provide a holistic approach to improving students' well-being
Healthy university students or young adults aged 18-30 years.
Willing to participate voluntarily and able to provide written informed consent.
major physical health problems or musculoskeletal injuries that would prevent participation in the exercise program, based on preliminary health screening.
No significant hearing impairment that would interfere with participation in music-based sessions
Acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain, injury, or disorders that limit exercise participation.
Serious cardiovascular, pulmonary, or other systemic diseases that restrict physical activity.
History of surgery within the past 3 months or medical advice to avoid exercise
Psychiatric or neurological disorders that may prevent compliance with the program.
Parallel
core exercise
BehavioralParticipants will engage in a structured program combining mindfulness-based breathing exercises, core stability/strength exercises, and music therapy awareness sessions. Sessions will be delivered in a lecture-hall setting, approximately 2-3 times per week, lasting 45-60 minutes, for a total duration of 4-8 weeks.
Change in Perceived Stress Score assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a 10-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure the degree to which individuals perceive their lives as stressful. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). Total scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater perceived stress
Change in core muscle endurance assessed by the Plank Test
Core muscle endurance will be evaluated using the Plank Test. Participants are instructed to hold a standard prone plank position for as long as possible. The time (in seconds) is recorded from the start of the position until loss of proper form or voluntary termination.
Change in core muscle endurance assessed by the Plank Test assessing by score
Core muscle endurance will be evaluated using the Plank Test. Scores range from 0 seconds (minimum) to the maximum duration the participant can maintain proper posture
Change in relaxation/calmness assessed by 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire
Participants rate their perceived relaxation on a 5-point Likert Scale (1 = very tense, 5 = very relaxed). Higher scores indicate greater calmness and relaxation (better outcome)
