Abstract

Background: Synergistic effects of yoga or physical exercise (PE) along with protein supplementation on children's muscle function in rural India have not been studied. Hence, we aimed to study the effect of yoga and PE along with protein supplementation on muscle function in healthy 6- to 11-year-old rural Indian children post 6 months of intervention.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial on 232 children, recruited into 3 groups, each receiving 1 protein-rich ladoo (148 kcal, 7 g protein/40 g ladoo-an Indian sweet snack) daily and performing (1) yoga (n = 78) for 30 minutes 5 times per week, (2) PE (n = 76) for 30 minutes 5 times per week, or (3) control group (n = 78) no additional exercise. Maximum power, maximum voluntary force (Fmax), and grip strength (GS) were measured. Data were analyzed using paired t tests and a 2-way mixed analysis of variance with post hoc Bonferroni adjustment.

Results: GS, maximum power, and Fmax within yoga group increased significantly (P < .05) from baseline to endline. GS and Fmax increased significantly within PE group postintervention (P < .001). In controls, GS increased (P < .05) at endline. No significant effect of the intervention was observed on the change in maximum power (P > .05) postintervention. The 2 exercise groups showed significant increase in Fmax compared with the control group (P < .05). Similarly, increase in GS was significantly higher in both the exercise groups compared with the control group (P < .05). No significant difference was observed in change in muscle function between the 2 exercise groups (P > .05).

Conclusions: Structured physical activity along with protein supplementation resulted in improved muscle function in children. Yoga and PE showed a comparable impact on muscle force.

瑜伽或体育锻炼对印度农村儿童肌肉功能的影响:一项随机对照试验。
背景:在印度农村,瑜伽或体育锻炼(PE)与补充蛋白质对儿童肌肉功能的协同作用尚未得到研究。因此,我们旨在研究瑜伽和体育运动以及蛋白质补充对6个月干预后6至11岁印度农村健康儿童肌肉功能的影响。方法:对232名儿童进行随机对照试验,分为3组,每组每天接受1份富含蛋白质的拉杜(148kcal,7g蛋白质/40g拉杜,一种印度甜食),并进行(1)瑜伽(n=78)30分钟,每周5次,(2)体育(n=76)30分钟,每周5次数,或(3)对照组(n=78,不进行额外运动。测量最大功率、最大自由力(Fmax)和握力(GS)。使用配对t检验和双向混合方差分析以及事后Bonferroni调整对数据进行分析。结果:从基线到终点,瑜伽组的GS、最大功率和Fmax显著增加(P<0.05)。干预后PE组的GS和Fmax显著增加(P<0.001)。对照组的GS在终点线增加(P>0.05)。干预对干预后最大功率的变化没有显著影响(P>0.05)。与对照组相比,两个运动组的Fmax显著增加(P<0.05),与对照组相比,两个运动组的GS增加显著更高(P<0.05)。两组运动组的肌肉功能变化没有显著差异(P>0.05)。结论:有组织的体育活动和蛋白质补充改善了儿童的肌肉功能。瑜伽和体育锻炼对肌肉力量的影响相当。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Physical Activity and Health (JPAH) publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. As an exposure, the journal publishes articles examining how physical activity influences all aspects of health. As an outcome, the journal invites papers that examine the behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and/or population basis. The JPAH is an interdisciplinary journal published for researchers in fields of chronic disease.
