Abstract

Purpose:
Maintaining balance is one of the most important parameters of a healthy body. Anyone experiencing balance issues is somehow trying to recover or upgrade their lost balance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks exercises on central yoga stabilization on static and semi-dynamic balance with open and closed eyes in female students of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman.
Methods:
This quasi-experimental study was conducted on female students of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. The statistical sample consists of 20 individuals from the statistical population who were selected by available sampling. Pre-test (static and semi-dynamic balance with open and closed eyes with biodex balancer) was taken from all subjects. Then they practiced yoga for 8 weeks and then took the post-test. Data analysis was performed by dependent t-test at the significant level (p≤0.05) in SPSS software (version 24).
Results:
Findings showed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test means for static balance variables with open eyes p=0.001 and with closed eyes p=0.001; Posterior-anterior semi-dynamic balance with open eyes p=0.013 and with closed eyes p=0.004; Posterior-internal semi-dynamic balance with open eyes p=0.001 and with closed eyes p=0.007; There was a posterior-external half-pubic balance with open eyes p = 0.001 and with closed eyes p=0.007.
Conclusion:
Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that these exercises may have positive effects on semi-dynamic balance in all directions and static balance with eyes open and closed.
