The aim of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic exercise and yoga exercises on menstrual pain parameters (pain severity and duration, analgesic usage), uterine artery blood flow, menstrual stress level, physical fitness, anxiety/depressive symptom level, quality of life and sleep quality in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea. This study is a prospective, parallel group, randomized study. Three days a week for eight weeks, the participants in this study will receive individualized yoga and aerobic exercise. In the literature, there are no studies comparing the effectiveness of aerobic exercise and yoga in the management of PD, which is a public health problem that seriously affects women's lives. Especially when aerobic exercise and yoga exercises are considered, there is no study on how much the features such as uterine artery blood flow and physical fitness sub-parameters have changed with these two commonly used exercise types separately in the management of PD.
