Brief summary (registry, in English)

In recent years, there is growing interest in illustrating the health benefits of exercise among epilepsy.

The aim of this trial is to examine the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise training on physical activity, health-related physical fitness, mental, emotional, and psychological health status, seizure frequency and quality of life.
