Item IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF 2 YOGA-BASED RELAXATION TECHNIQUES ON FATIGUE, STATE ANXIETY, AND VIGOR IN ADULTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY(SVYASA, 2019-09-27) Arvind Kumar; Rajesh SK; Vijaya MajumdarItem Effect of yoga on productivity and health of button factory workers: a single arm open label study(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) SnehaSneha Background The button factory workers are prone to a range of occupational risk factors that greatly affect their health and productivity. There is an immediate need to implement worksite health programs for the mutual benefit of the employers and employees. Aims The aim of the study was to study the effect of one month yoga intervention on productivity and health of button factory workers. Settings and Design The study was conducted at a medium scale button factory located in Bidadhi Industrial Area, Bangalore. It was a single arm open label study. Methods and Material The sample consisted of 70 button factory workers with mean age was 31.6 ±9.24. The variables studied included order production ratio, error rate, hand dexterity, hand grip strength, fatigue, pain intensity and quality of life. All variables were tested for statistical significance using paired-t test at p > 0.05 Results The production order ratio reached optimum level and the error rate declined .Significant improvements were seen in all the other outcome variables. Conclusion Yoga is an effective tool to improve productivity and health of button factory workers. Long term interventions will further confirm the findings of the study.Item Effect of mind sound resonance technique on anxiety, epression and fatigue in working women(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Anita PatilObjectives: The present study aimed at assessing the efficacy of a yoga technique called Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) on working women’s stress level reduction with an age range 30 to 50. 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 Effect of one month yoga training on lipid profile, anthropometric measurements, stress and fatigue in obese patients: a comparative study(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Kapila Raji, B. F. A.Background: obesity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It leads to number of co-morbidities like cardiac disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, stroke etc. Lifestyle modification in terms of physical activity and diet and primary way of approach in management of obesity. Yoga therapy is a emerging complementary and alternative medicine. Many scientific studies have shown potential role of yoga in management of number of non-communicable diseases. Aim: Aim of the present study is to compare the effect of one moth yoga training and aerobic exercise on lipid profile, anthropometric measurement, stress and quality of life in obese women. Methods: 39 women were enrolled in this 20 in yoga group with age range between 30-50 yrs (mean ± SD = 38.05 ± 6.7) and 19 in aerobic group with age range between 30-45 yrs (mean ± SD = 40 ± 4.7). Yoga group performed asanas, suryanamaskar, pranayama and relaxation techniques for month and aerobic group performed different aerobic exercise in gym. All the subjects were assessed with lipid profile, hip circumference, waist circumference, fatigue severity scale, quality of life and perceived stress scale before and after one month. Results: Within group comparison showed significant decrease in BMI (p=.000), WC(371), HC (p-.000), Total cholesterol C(p=.000), Triglycerides (.000), HDLDC(p=.010), LDLC(p=.011), VLDLC(p=.006), Fatigue(p=.000), Perceived stress(.015), and significant improvement in quality of life (p=.010) in yoga group Within group comparison showed significant decrease in BMI (p=.000), WC(.000), HC (p- .000), Total cholesterol C(p=.000), Triglycerides (..0050), HDLDC (p=.010), LDLC (p=.011), VLDLC (p=.006), Fatigue(p=.001), Perceived stress(.001), and significant improvement in quality of life (p=325) in Aerobics groupConclusion: After this study it was seen that Lipid profile showed improvement in both yoga and aerobics group, especially HDL was improved in Aerobics group. There was significant improvement in fatigue severity scale in yoga group compared to aerobics group 1 month yoga and aerobics intervention has a positive role in obese women.Item Effect of one month of yoga practice on anthropometric, psychological and genitive function in women with chronic disease: A control study(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Bhat, NarayanIntroduction: Depression, anxiety, and fatigue are among the most chronic mental health condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide.

Yoga group underwent one month of specific practice (5days/week) of 60 minutes. Control group continued with their daily activities during the period of intervention. The assessments were based upon the four Questioners-Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (hads), Cohen Perceved Stress (cps), Fatigue Severity Scale (fss), The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (psqi). The sample size comprised of 2 groups (n=70),. Results: There was a significant decrease in HADS (P<0.002), cps(P<0.00), fss(P<0.000), & psqi(P<0.00) in yoga group (paired t test) compare to the control group. This suggests that yoga practice may be useful in the management of stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue and sleep in patients with chronic disease.
