The study was completed in a yoga classroom at a university in Xi'an, using a quasi-experimental design, where subjects were divided into an experimental group (yoga intervention) and a control group (no intervention) based on their scores on the Self-Objectification Questionnaire and the Short Video Addiction Scale to ensure that there was no significant difference in the level of self-objectification and short video addiction among the subjects in the two groups. The independent variable was group, the dependent variable was self-objectification, and the mediating variable was short video addiction. Where both self-objectification and short video addiction levels were measured by questionnaire form. The whole experiment lasted for 8 weeks .

The study was completed in a yoga classroom at a university in Xi'an, using a quasi-experimental design, where subjects were divided into an experimental group (yoga intervention) and a control group (no intervention) based on their scores on the Self-Objectification Questionnaire and the Short Video Addiction Scale to ensure that there was no significant difference in the level of self-objectification and short video addiction among the subjects in the two groups. The independent variable was group, the dependent variable was self-objectification, and the mediating variable was short video addiction. Where both self-objectification and short video addiction levels were measured by questionnaire form. The whole experiment lasted for 8 weeks and consisted of three steps. In the first step, before the first practice of yoga, subjects filled out the experimental registration form, informed consent form, general information, self-objectification questionnaire, and short video addiction scale. In the second step, the experimental group started to practice yoga at least 3 times a week for 8 weeks; the control group continued to live according to their previous habits without additional yoga practice. In the third step, the subjects' self-objectification and short video addiction were measured again at the end of 8 weeks of yoga practice. In this study, Hatha yoga was chosen as the exercise mode for the experiment, and the experimental group was required to practice yoga three times a week for 90 minutes each time for a total of eight weeks, without participating in other exercises during the experimental period, and the yoga exercise must be scheduled according to the weekly regulations. In order to reduce the interference of irrelevant influencing factors, the yoga practice of all experimental group members was at the same time, in the same place, and was taught by the same instructor. In case of special conditions, the exercise program can be adjusted appropriately, and the number of leaves taken by the subjects cannot exceed one; the control group is required to continue to live in accordance with the previous living habits, and the control group is regularly questioned about their lives, and relevant information is recorded in a timely manner.
