Examining the relationship between yoga and improved balance in athletes

AUTHOR(S): Dr. Vinodkumar K
ABSTRACT:
This study made an investigation on the effect of yoga on balance in athletes. Randomly selected 50 college athletes were divided into yoga (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) and the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) were used to asses the balance. Results revealed significant improvements in balance in the yoga group compared to the control group. Specifically, yoga participants demonstrated reduced BESS scores (p<0.05) and increased SEBT reach distances (p<0.05). These findings made a clear picture that yoga can be a valuable method to athletic training for improving balance.
