In this way, a number is included for the names of the registered people, then using 6 block tables and random allocation software, these numbers are randomly placed in one of the two groups. N/A Condition 1: Sexual self-esteem. Condition 2: sexual performance index. Intervention 1: In addition to performing pelvic floor muscle exercises at home, the intervention group will participate in a 12-session exercise program designed by a yoga instructor and researcher in one of the clubs affiliated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. The yoga exercise program is carried out as 2 sessions per week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting from 45 minutes in the first 4 weeks to 75 minutes in the final weeks, with varying degrees of intensity. The training program in each session includes three parts: warm-up movements (Pawan Moket), Salam Barkhorshid cycle, main cycle movements (Asana) and cooling and relaxation (Shavasana). Exercises start from a low level and progress gradually. If necessary, the selected exercises are adjusted for the subjects who are not able to maintain their posture while doing it, and in this way, the principle of paying attention to the individual differences of the subjects is respected. In order to overload principle, the repetition of movements in each session increases compared to the previous session. At the beginning of each session, for 15-20 minutes, we will have warm-up exercises for joints and muscles (Pawan Moket). These warm-up exercises include 3 general categories of movements: joint warm-up, core muscle warm-up and movements related to unblocking energy pathways. Then 10 minutes of the exercise are dedicated to the sun salutation cycle. The movements related to this cycle include stretching, strength, balance, contraction and inversion movements. After performing the sun salutation cycle, the movements of the main cycle (asana) designed by the yoga instructor are performed in a period of 20 minutes. Finally, 10 to 15 minutes are considered at the end of the workout for cooling down and relaxation movements (Shavasana). Intervention 2: Control group: Control group only do pelvic floor muscle exercises at home. It is worth noting that the subjects of both the intervention and control groups are fully trained on how to perform this pelvic floor muscle exercise at home during a joint briefing before random assignment. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: All study data including demographic information, sexual self-esteem status and sexual performance index before and after the intervention can be published. When: Only after publishing the article extracted from this data can be published. To whom: Researchers related to the research field Conditions: In order to generalize the results of the research, after the publication of the article, if the researcher has a convincing reason to use the data and undertakes to refer to the information of this research.
