K.Background Sport includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organized participation, at least in part aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators. Aggression is overt or covert, often harmful, social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or other unpleasantness upon another individual. It may occur either reactively or without provocation. Anxiety is your body's natural response to stress. It's a feeling of fear or apprehension about what's to come. Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Emotional intelligence or EI is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, and those of the people around you.

Spearmen’s correlation test was used to see the correlation among variables. Results: Result of the Spearmen correlation indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between sports anxiety and sports aggression (rs=0.193, p=0.002).Result of the Spearmen correlation indicated that there was a significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and sports anxiety(rs= -0.152, p=0.003),between sports aggression and emotional intelligence(rs= -0.156, p=0.011). Result of the Spearmen correlation indicated that there was a significant correlation sports anxiety and mindfulness,(rs=0.441, p<0.001). Result of the Spearmen correlation indicated that there was no significant correlation between sports aggression and mindfulness,(rs=0.080, p<0.193).

The epidemiological studies shows a hike from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases indicating that the adults are more prone for anxiety related, mindfulness related and heart rate related issues. Introduction Mindfulness has been conceptualized as the process of bringing attention and awareness to objects within the experience of the present moment with a non-judgmental and non-evaluative acceptance and openness. State anxiety (SA) can be conceptualized as “a state in which an individual is unable to instigate a clear pattern of behavior to remove or alter the event/object/interpretation that is threatening an existing goal. Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to beat to beat alterations in the heart rate and is associated with cardiac autonomic regulation. Correlational study design was used. Eighty three subjects were assessed using state anxiety and mindfulness questionnaire and heart rate variability measurement. There was no intervention, since our objective was to understand correlation between mindfulness, state anxiety and heart rate variability. Result: SMAAS, STAI and HRV were assessed to understand the correlation between these three variables. Results showed significant high negative correlation between SMAAS and STAI. STAI and LF of HRV is positively correlated whereas SMAAS and LF is negatively correlated. There was a significant moderate negative correlation between STAI and HF, whereas SMAAS is positively correlated with HF. And also, there was a significant moderate positive correlation between STAI and LF/HF ratio and negative correlation between SMAAS and LF/HF ratio. Conclusion: There was a significant moderate negative correlation between STAI and, whereas SMAAS is positively correlated with HF. And also, there was a significant moderate positive correlation between STAI and LF/HF ratio and negative correlation between SMAAS and LF/HF ratio.Item State anxiety, mindfulness and heart rate variability dynamics in healthy adults(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Kurian, JintuBackground India is currently facing disorders in lifestyle, and resulting physical, mental, and social disharmony such anxiety, stress, worries, lack of awareness, variations in the heart rate.

Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) is one of the yoga based relaxation techniques. Practice of MSRT shown to be effective in various chronic health conditions including diabetes mellitus.

Subjects underwent 20 minutes of two different intervention; MSRT and supine rest on two consecutive days at 6:40 AM to 7:00 AM. We excluded the subjects if they; had anxiety disorder, were on any anti-psychotic medication, were on insulin. We assessed state anxiety and subjective feeling of relaxation using spilberg’s state anxiety inventory (STAI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) respectively and fasting blood glucose level before and immediately after both the intervention. Results: The results showed a significant reduction (P<0.001) in blood glucose, STAI, and increase in relaxation as depicted through VAS immediately following the practice of MSRT, whereas, some marginal changes were found in SR group which were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Single session of MSRT helps in reducing blood glucose level, state anxiety and subjective feeling of relaxation immediately after practice. However further randomized controlled studies need to be performed to confirm the present findings.Item Effect of yoga based lifestyle intervention on anxiety and depression in young adults - A questionnaires Based Study(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Mahato, Dilip KumarBACKGROUND: Anxiety is commonly experience by every individual at some point or the other in life.

Material and Methods: In this randomized two group pre post study, 60 subjects were assigned to two groups (yoga, n=30) and (control, n=30). The yoga group received yogic MSRT for 25 minutes in supine position for 20 days and control group continued with their routine work without any yoga intervention. All instructions of MSRT technique were given verbally. MSRT provides deep relaxation for both mind and body by introspective experience of the sound resonance in the whole body while repeating the syllables A, U, M and Om and a long chant (Mahamrityunjaya mantra) several times in a meaningful sequence. Both the groups had pre and post assessments using HADS (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale) and PFS (Piper Fatigue Scale) questionnaires. Result: The result showed significant reduction (p<0.05, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test) in all six variables which are anxiety, depression and fatigue’s four dimensions- behavioral, affective meaning, sensory and cognitive, in experimental group after 20 days (25 min per day) practice of MSRT. Whereas in control group only two variables depression and fatigue’s behavioral dimension showed significant reduction in score. Mann-Whitney test was conducted to compare the results between group, experimental and control. Three variables showed significant results (p<0.05) anxiety and two dimensions of fatigue sensory and cognitive. Conclusion: The assessment and data analysis clearly shows that 20 days practice of MSRT significantly reduced the anxiety, depression and fatigue score of the participants, while improvement was none in the control group. These findings need confirmation from studies with a larger sample size, which are implicated in the future.Item “Integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT)” for neurology and oncology, asthma and hypertension, anxiety and depression, arthritis, back pain, diabetes mellitus, gastro- intestinal disorders and obesity and PPH(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Kanwar, Sonal“Behind every sick man, there is a spiritual man.
