Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Yoga is a form of mind-body fitness that involves a combination of muscular activity and an internally directed focus on awareness of the self, the breath, and energy. Suryanamaskar (SN) is a part of yoga. Since time is often seen as a limiting factor when exercising, a daily practice of SN can be the perfect solution for time-challenged individuals as it gives more benefits with less expenditure of time. Aim & objectives To study the effectiveness of Suryanamaskar on flexibility in college female students Methodology 60 female students of Physiotherapy College, aged 18-25 years were selected as per inclusion criteria. Outcome measures used where Sit and reach test and Shoulder and wrist elevation test. The subjects were made to do 12 slow Suryanamaskars for 2 weeks (6 days/ week) Result Mean age was 21.45. Sit and reach test improved after SN by (mean difference of 4.56 and P < 0.0001) Shoulder and wrist elevation test improved after SN by (mean difference of 5 and P < 0.0001) Conclusion The study indicates that the two weeks of SN training may be effective to observe improvising flexibility in female students
