Mind-Body practices in hockey training: A focus on yogic interventions for goal setting and anxiety management


Author(s): Pradeep Prajapati and Dr. Promod Kumar Das

Abstract:
In the realm of sports performance enhancement, the integration of mind-body practices has gained considerable attention for its potential to optimize training outcomes. This paper delves into the application of yogic interventions within hockey training protocols, focusing on their efficacy in enhancing goal setting and managing anxiety among players. Through a thorough review of existing literature and empirical research, we explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between yoga, goal setting, and anxiety regulation in the context of hockey. While previous studies have examined the benefits of yoga in various sports settings, limited research has specifically addressed its application within the realm of hockey training. Drawing upon seminal studies and meta-analyses, we elucidate the potential of yoga to positively impact athletic performance and psychological well-being among hockey players. Furthermore, this paper outlines a mixed-methods approach to investigate the effects of yogic interventions on goal setting and anxiety management in novice hockey players. By providing empirical support for the integration of mind-body practices in athletic development, this research aims to inform coaches, athletes, and sports psychologists about the potential benefits of incorporating yoga into hockey training regimens. Through a comprehensive analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data, we seek to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding holistic approaches to athlete development and performance optimization in the realm of sports.
