Different types of bhastrika pranayama: repeated measures trials with different treatments to study the trend of the effects on static balance ability

Abstract

Purpose. The objective of the study was to find out the trend of the effects of 4 varieties of bhastrika pranayama on static balance ability. Methods. The total of 75 male students were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged 17-25 years. The participants were divided randomly into 5 groups, 15 students each. They practiced 4 varieties of bhastrika pranayama. Results. Quadratic components for overall trends were found significant in static balance ability. A significant difference was observed between linear components of the trends for the treatment groups and the control group in static balance ability. Also, a significant difference was noted between quadratic components of the trends for the treatment groups and the control group as for static balance ability.Conclusions. There was a significant difference among the adjusted post-test means of 4 experimental groups and the control group in static balance ability.

Inclusive physical education program of schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorders

“…Only some of them dealt with the effectiveness of a program that was comprehensive and used a wide range of tools. For example, the effectiveness of relaxation exercises with dance and music therapy [12], programs containing different types of exercises [13], programs involving coordination and strength exercises [15], and structured motor activities with naturally integrated elements of social interaction [5,14] were studied. In addition, some studies compared the effectiveness of two different programs: strength and cardio fitness [15], yoga and Chinese gymnastics [16], dance and exercise cycling [17], or even three training programs: author's cycling support therapy, cycling, and complete absence of cyclic loads [33].…”

“…Therefore, little methodology and experience have been gained in organizing and conducting inclusive physical education lessons for children with ASD. When designing physical education programs for schoolchildren with ASD in the conditions of inclusive education in secondary schools, the best practices of applying various types of sports and physical therapy can be used [3,4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
