2. Physio-yogic exercise protocol

This group underwent an exercise protocol that consisted of scapular muscle activation exercises and shoulder-focused yoga asanas. Participants performed one set of three repetitions with an 8-second hold after each repetition for yoga asanas, and for scapular recruitment exercises, they completed three sets of ten repetitions [19]. The same exercise protocol as that of the scapular recruitment exercise group was implemented in this group. Yoga asanas consisted of the following: Hasttotanasana (Raised Arms Pose), Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Adhomukha Swanaasana (Downward Facing Dog Pose), Urdhvamukho Swanaasana (Upward Facing Dog Pose), Dandasana (Modified Plank Pose), Uttanmandukasana (Extended Frog Pose), and Yogamudrasana (Yoga Seal Pose).
