Effects of yoga on flexibility of school children: A short summary of reviews


Author(s): Apurva Tiwari and Dr. Nidheesh Yadav

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to assess the findings of selected articles regarding the physical effects of yoga and to provide a comprehensive review of the benefits of regular yoga practice for school students. As prolonged sitting hours in school continue to increase, students have corporal, behavioral, cognitive, and psychological symptoms in terms of either frequency or intensity during prolonged sitting in the study seat. Yoga poses help students increase their flexibility, which can be beneficial for various physical activities. A greater range of motion provided by flexibility helps to avoid injuries and stresses to the muscles. Maintaining yoga poses improves general physical fitness by strengthening the muscles. Firm muscles provide stability to the skeletal system, enhancing posture and lowering the possibility of musculoskeletal abnormalities in school students. Students' natural delight can be significantly impacted by the hectic pace of their lives, usually in a negative way. Yoga can assist in reducing these stresses. Students who acquire skills in self-care, relaxation, and inner contentment will find it easier to deal with life's obstacles. Results from this study show that yogic practices enhance muscular strength and body flexibility, and promote and improve the overall performance of the school students. Regular practice of yoga offers much more physical benefits to school students. This study was focused on the physical benefits of yoga.
