Abstract

Background. Mind and body exercise programmes, such as Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates, can be successfully applied for stress reduction and cognitive function enhancement, however Nirvana Fitness training effects on perceived stress and cognition remain equivocal. The aim. To determine the effects of Nirvana Fitness training on perceived stress and cognition. Methods. The study included 20 women. They were randomly assigned to a control (n=10) or experimental (n=10) group. Participants in the experimental group participated in the Nirvana Fitness exercise programme, which consisted of a 50-minute class twice a week for 8 weeks. Participants in the control group were asked to maintain their daily routines. Changes in perceived stress and cognitive performance were evaluated. Results. The Nirvana Fitness exercise programme significantly decreased (p<0.05) perceived stress and improved (p<0.05) inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, whereas spatial and working memory remained unchanged. Conclusion. The Nirvana Fitness programme can be used as an effective method to decrease stress and improve attention in women. Keywords: memory, attention, women, mind and body exercise programmes

涅盘健身计划对感知压力和认知的影响

背景太极、瑜伽和普拉提等身心锻炼项目可以成功应用于减轻压力和增强认知功能，但涅盘健身训练对感知压力和认知的影响仍不明确。目标。确定涅盘健身训练对感知压力和认知的影响。方法。这项研究包括20名女性。他们被随机分配到对照组（n=10）或实验组（n=10）。实验组的参与者参加了涅盘健身锻炼计划，该计划包括每周两次50分钟的课程，为期8周。对照组的参与者被要求保持他们的日常生活。评估了感知压力和认知表现的变化。后果涅盘健身运动计划显著降低（p<0.05）感知压力，改善（p<0.05）抑制控制和认知灵活性，而空间和工作记忆保持不变。结论涅盘健身计划可以作为减少压力和提高女性注意力的有效方法。关键词：记忆、注意力、妇女、身心锻炼方案
