Abstract

Objective

There is no existing yoga that is designed specifically according to the traits of college-stressed students. So a novel Mano Shakti Yoga (MSY) was designed to alleviate stress-induced anxiety and depression in college students, which was assessed by physical and psychological measurements.

Methods

A total number of 73 students with stress were recruited and were then randomly allocated into two groups: a) the yoga group received MSY intervention for 12 sessions, and b) the control group received no yogic intervention. And Zung’s self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), Zung’s self-rating depression scale (SDS), and cortisol saliva (CS) were assessed pre- and post- yoga intervention in both groups.

Results

The post-yoga measurement, including SAS, SDS, and CS levels, were significantly decreased compared with the pre-yoga in the yoga group. However, there was no significant difference in the control group.

Conclusion

MSY, which focuses on body-mind interaction and integration, can effectively improve the psychological and physical state of high-stressed college students.

练习马诺沙克蒂瑜伽对压力大学生的心理生物学影响:一项随机对照试验

目的目前还没有专门针对大学压力学生特点设计的瑜伽。因此，设计了一种新颖的Mano Shakti瑜伽（MSY）来缓解大学生因压力引起的焦虑和抑郁，并通过身体和心理测量进行了评估。方法将73名有压力的学生随机分为两组：a）瑜伽组接受12次MSY干预，b）对照组不接受瑜伽干预。并对两组患者在瑜伽干预前后的焦虑自评量表（SAS）、抑郁自评量量表（SDS）和皮质醇唾液量表（CS）进行评估。结果与瑜伽前相比，瑜伽组瑜伽后的SAS、SDS和CS水平显著下降。然而，在对照组中没有显著差异。结论MSY注重身心互动与整合，能有效改善高压力大学生的身心状态。
