Abstract

Purpose: to determine effectiveness of Yoga means’ implementation in students’ physical education programs. Material: in experiment 85 2nd year students participated, who were divided in control group (CG, n=43, 15 boys and 28 girls) and experimental group (EG, n=42, 17 boys and 25 girls). Their calendar age was 18-19 years. By state of health all students were in main health group (without health problems). The researches were carried out during one academic semester and implied finding and comparing of students’ biological age. Results: by results of medical examination we registered 22 years as minimal biological age and 55 years as maximal. We found no students, whose biological age would correspond to calendar age. It was also found that systemic practicing of Yoga permits to keep proper level of students’ health and increase their interest to physical exercises’ practicing. It was proved that application of Yoga means approached students’ biological age to calendar one. Conclusions: introduction of Yoga complexes in physical education program will permit to sustain and improve students’ biological indicators and positively influence on their health.

Highlights

  • In experiment 85 2nd year students participated, who were divided in control group (CG, n=43, 15 boys and 28 girls) and experimental group (EG, n=42, 17 boys and 25 girls)

  • At the beginning of experiment we found homogeneity of groups by analyzing physiological indicators and subjective selfassessment of own health that was reflected in biological age compliance with calendar age

  • The students were offered to familiarize with the following kinds of breathing, which are used in Yoga practice: − Full Yoga breathing, which implies lower breathing: during inhale abdomen bulges a little; at exhale it retracts with simultaneous tensioning of pelvis muscles. − Middle breathing: to be fulfilled by chest expansion and its lowering at exhale. − Upper breathing: to be fulfilled by rising and lowering of collarbones

Introduction of Yoga complexes in physical education program will permit to sustain and improve students’ biological indicators and positively influence on their health. Non traditional and relevant as on to day physical [27, 39, 44], and morphological functional indicators [41]; − Reduction of physiological stress’s influence by means of Yoga [9]; − Rising of effectiveness of self-regulation training programs for sustaining the youth’s health and successfulness [11, 37]; practicing of intervention (understanding of Yoga) in respect to weakening depression’s after-effects [19]; − Study of Yoga’s potential influence on youth’s successfulness [22]; − Consideration of women organism’s specificities in Yoga practicing [50]; For strengthening students’ interest to physical exercises’ practicing, specialists constantly seek new means for realization of physical education purposes. The purpose conditioned the tasks of this work: 1.Characterize the influence of the worked out training program on physiological indicators and subjective selfassessment of students’ health that is reflected in biological age compliance with calendar age. 2.Prove effectiveness of Yoga means for realization of students’ physical education tasks and necessity of their implementation in academic program
