About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effects of the "Xuong tan lac than" exercise on range of motion and muscle endurance in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does practicing the "Xuong tan lac than" exercise improve joint range of motion (cervical spine, lumbar spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle)? * Does the exercise improve muscle endurance around these joints?
Participants will:
* Perform the "Xuong tan lac than" exercise for 12 weeks (5 days per week, once daily). * Be trained to perform the exercise correctly before starting the intervention. * Undergo assessments of joint range of motion and muscle endurance at baseline and after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks.

Treatments tested in this trial
"Xuong tan lac than" exercise
BehavioralThe exercise procedure includes the following steps: * Preparation: Participants stand in a semi-squat position with both knees slightly flexed. The hands are interlocked in front of the body with the palms facing downward. * Step 1 (Warm-up): Participants inhale deeply while slowly raising both arms overhead. * Step 2 (Movement): While maintaining continuous inhalation to keep the airway open, participants perform alternating lateral trunk movements. This breathing technique is a key feature of the exercise, allowing sustained air intake to enhance oxygen exchange and support the regulation of internal energy (qi) according to traditional Vietnamese medicine principles. The trunk bends to one side with the corresponding leg extended and the opposite leg slightly flexed, then alternates to the other side. Each side is repeated 2-6 times in a controlled manner.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change from baseline in joint range of motion measured by IMU (Noraxon MyoMotion)
This outcome evaluates the change from baseline in joint range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine, lumbar spine, shoulder, wrist, knee, and ankle using the Noraxon MyoMotion IMU system. Each movement will be measured three times, and the average value will be used for analysis
Time frame
Baseline and week 12Secondary outcomes
1
Change in baseline in nerve conduction parameters (CMAP and NCV)
Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) will be assessed using standard electrophysiological techniques. These parameters reflect neuromuscular function and nerve conduction efficiency
