Abstract
Th is contribution presents the results of a pilot study measuring changes in the levels of static balance and body composition (BMI) brought about by practising the poweryoga programme. Th e 3-month intervention programme was applied to an experimental group of female students at the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. Th e test to ascertain the static balance level measured the time for which the subjects were able to stand on one leg without visual control; the BMI data were obtained from the subjects‘ height-to-weight ratios. Although practised for a short-time only, the intervention programme resulted in positive changes in the static balance level (at a low level of signifi cance due to the small number of subjects involved). BMI changes appeared to be negligible due to the short time and one-sidedness of the intervention. Th e results will be used to modify the motion content of the poweryoga intervention programme within a comprehensive study of the effi ciency of the motion programme and in support of usefulness of this motion activity for female university students.
