Brief Summary:
Obesity is a major public health problem that reduces quality of life and increases the risk of many chronic diseases. Its global prevalence continues to rise, and it is estimated that approximately 18 percent of men and 21 percent of women will be affected by the year 2025. The development and progression of obesity are influenced by individual characteristics such as age, lifestyle, and gender. Women experience hormonally driven changes in body fat across different life stages, including puberty, reproductive years, and the postpartum period, which place them at higher metabolic risk.
Progressive muscle relaxation, particularly when combined with music, has been shown to reduce sleep problems, emotional disturbances, fatigue, and limitations in quality of life across different clinical populations. However, the effectiveness of music-assisted progressive muscle relaxation in sedentary obese women has not been clearly demonstrated.
This study investigates whether a six-week, home-based music-assisted progressive muscle relaxation program can improve sleep quality, emotional well-being, fatigue, and health-related quality of life in sedentary obese women. The intervention can be performed independently in the participants' own living environment, which supports sustainability and enhances self-management. Demonstrating the effectiveness of this method may offer healthcare professionals a low-cost, accessible, non-pharmacological treatment option to improve both physical and emotional well-being in this high-risk population.
