Normative data for the letter-cancellation task in school children
(International Journal of Yoga,, 2008) Balaram, Pradhan; Nagendra H.R.
Aims: To establish the norms for the letter-cancellation task—a psychomotor performance task. Materials and Methods: Eight hundred nineteen school students were selected in the present study in an age range between nine and 16 years (M = 12.14; SD = 1.78 years). Subjects were assessed once for the cancellation task. Results: Both age and sex infl uenced performance on the SLCT; therefore, correction scores were obtained on the basis of these factors. Conclusions: The availability of Indian normative data for the SLCT will allow wider application of this test in clinical practice.
Oxygen consumption and respiration following two yoga relaxation techniques.
(Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, 2000) Telles, Shirley; Reddy, S.K.; Nagendra H.R.
The present study was conducted to evaluate a statement in ancient yoga texts which suggests that a combination of both "calming" and "stimulating" measures may be especially helpful in reaching a state of mental equilibrium. Two yoga practices, one combining "calming and stimulating" measures (cyclic meditation) and the other, a "calming" technique (shavasan), were compared. The oxygen consumption, breath rate and breath volume, of 40 male volunteers (group mean ± SD, 27.0 ± 5.7 Years) were assessed before and after sessions of cyclic meditation (CM) and before and after sessions of shavasan (SH). The two sessions (CM, SH) were one day apart. Cyclic meditation includes the practice of yoga postures interspersed with periods of supine relaxation.
Pranayama increases grip strength without lateralized effects.
(Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1997-07-17) Raghuraj, P.; Nagarathna R.; Nagendra H.R.; Telles, Shirley
The present study was conducted to determine whether breathing through a particular nostril has a lateralized effect on hand grip strength. 130 right hand dominant, school children between 11 and 18 yrs of age were randomly assigned to 5 groups. Each group had a specific yoga practice in addition to the regular program for a 10 day yoga camp. The practices were: (1) right, (2) left, (3) alternate- nostril breathing (4), breath awareness and (5) practice of mudras. Hand grip strength of both hands was assessed initially and at the end of 10 days for all 5 groups. The right, left- and alternate- nostril breathing groups had a significant increase in grip strength of both hands, ranging from 4.1% to 6.5%, at the end of the camp though without any lateralization effect. The breath awareness and mudra groups showed no change. Hence the present results suggest that yoga breathing through a particular nostril, or through alternate nostrils increases hand grip strength of both hands without lateralization.

Shorter latencies of Components of middle latency auditory evoked potentials in congenitally blind compared to normal sighted subjects.
(International Journal of Neuroscience,, 1998) Manjunath N.K.; Srinivas, R.; Nirmala, K.S.; Nagendra H.R.; Kumar, A.; Telles, Shirley
A previous study which reported shorter latencies of the Nb component of AEP-MLRS in congenitally blind compared to normal sighted subjects, formed the basis for the present study. The blind subjects had received a rehabilitation program from the age of 4 years onwards, which may have influenced auditory function. Hence the present study was designed to compare the AEP MLRs of normal sighted subjects with age-matched blind subjects who had not undergone early rehabilitation. Auditory evoked potentials (0 to 100 ms. range) were recorded in 10 congenitally blind subjects (average age = 22.4 + 4.9 yrs.) and an equal number of age matched subjects with normal vision. There were two repetitions per subject. The peak latencies of both the Pa (maximum positive peak between Na and 35 ms.) and Nb (maximum negative peak between 38 and 52 ms.) waves was significantly shorter in congenitally blind compared to normal sighted subjects. Since the Pa and Nb waves are believed to be generated by the superior temporal cortex (Heschl's gyrus), it appears that processing at this neural level occurs more efficiently in the blind. Also, in spite of the absence of an early rehabilitation program the present subjects showed the same auditory changes as those reported earlier.
YOGA IN EDUCATION
(SWAMI VIVEKANANDA YOGA PRAKASHANA, 2010-12-07) Nagendra H.R.; Mohan T.; Shriram A.
One bright silver lining that has appeared over the edges of the dark clouds that hover over our country is the decision at the highest level to (infuse our National Education Policy with some really positive and rewarding values/) Thi^s alone can ensure that millions of our youths who enter our educational institutions with great hope would come out as enlightened citizens, fully geared to face challenges, internal and external, ready to take up their social and national responsibilities with a deep sense of patriotism, unselfishness, dedication and above all impeccable personal integrity. Belated though it be, it is gratifying to know that some awareness has come that only through men of character and integrity can we redeem our national pride, honour and integrity. This is the need of the hour.
