養生瑜珈運動提升女大學生之身體適能與心理適應之效益

Effect of Health Cultivation Yoga Exercise on Physical Fitness, and Psychological Adaptation of Female Undergraduates

目的：探討養生瑜珈運動對身體適能與心理適應之效益。方法：採單一樣本前後測，67名大一女生進行18週、每週一次、一次100分鐘之養生瑜珈運動。身體適能採坐姿體前彎檢測柔軟度、一分鐘屈膝仰臥起坐檢測肌耐力；心理適應採大學生生活適應量表、共通職能量表，以相依樣本t考驗與皮爾森相關分析。結果：柔軟度低分組前測平均23.75±5.38公分、後測平均25.67±6.83公分，柔軟度低分組出現顯著提升（*p < .05）；生活適應總分與正向態度、學校適應皆顯著提升（*p < .05），且生活適應與共通職能具中高程度之顯著相關性。結論：養生瑜珈運動對較低柔軟度的女大學生之身體適能與心理適應具實質提升作用。

Purpose: The present research aims to study the effects of health cultivation Yoga exercise in physical fitness and psychological adaptation of female undergraduates. Methods: A single-sample pre-test and post-test design was adopted, and 67 female undergraduates were selected as the research subjects. Health cultivation Yoga exercise was proceeded by 100 min/times and continued 1 time in one week for 18 weeks. Physical fitness uses seated forward bends to test flexibility and one-minute knee sit-ups to test muscle endurance; psychological adaptation uses research tools such as the college student life adap-tation scale and common competency and collects quantitative data through pre- and post-tests and uses dependent samples. t-test and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the changes in body flexibility, muscle endurance, life adaptation, and com-mon competency of female undergraduates. Results: 1. After the intervention of health cultivation yoga exercise, the perfor-mance of the low flexibility group was significantly improved (*p < .05); Both positive attitude towards psychological adapta-tion and school adaptation were significantly improved (*p < .05). There is a medium to high degree of significant correlation between life adaptation and common competence. Conclusions: Health cultivation yoga exercise intervention can substantially improve the physical fitness and psychological adaptation of female freshmen with low flexibility.
