Brief Summary
|
Quick decision making or a quick response in sports requires a well-trained mind. The status of mind, how it responds before a game
and during the game, is a major determining outcome factor.
In order to train for cognitive performance,
there are several computer-based training programs available. These programs are usually expensive and athletes,
especially at college level, may not be able to afford these programs.
A very convenient and feasible mode for
cognitive training is yoga. Yoga is an ancient and traditional exercise method
known to improve health of individuals. Various meditation techniques,
breathing techniques and postures are described in ancient yogic scriptures.
Significance of cognitive functions among
athletes is not studied thoroughly. With this study we aim to find out whether the practice
of yoga; namely yogic postures, Surya-namaskar and pranayama help athletes to improve
their reaction time, working memory and attention,
which as a result will help enhance their performance in the game. The
cognitive function will be assessed based on the changes in reaction time of athletes
pre and post intervention.
56 subjects will be recruited for the study.
They will be randomly selected, provided they meet the inclusion and exclusion
criteria.
Flanker Test - Eriksen &
Eriksen (1974) and N-back Task - Jaeggi et al (2010) will be used to determine the outcomes of the study.
Participants in the Yoga group will be given a
30-minute program comprising of 3 rounds of Surya-namaskar
(sun salutation), 5 minutes of Shavasana
(supine resting position), 5 minutes of Swastikasana,
13 minutes of Pranayama (which
includes Anuloma viloma pranayama, Suryabedhana pranayama, Bhramari pranayama) and 5 minutes of So-ham meditation (17). Participants
will be encouraged to follow this program thrice a week for 4 weeks without
modifying any other daily routine.
The sessions will be conducted on alternate
days, early in the morning, preferably on empty stomach Control group participants will follow their
normal daily routine without any modification; they will be advised against
doing Yoga until the end of study period.
Data will be entered in a master chart and
checked for normality using Shapiro Wilk test. Depending on the normality,
parametric (paired and independent t test) or non-parametric (Whitney U test
and Wilcoxon sign rank test) test will be used for analysis. Level of
significance will be set at 0.05.
Within and between groups comparison results
will be used to comment about the effectiveness of yoga program on cognitive
functioning in college level athletes.
