EFFECTS OF YOGA ON STRESS FACTORS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS

Abstract

Background : The purpose of this study was to conduct a descriptive analysis of recognised sources of stress among  collegestudents. The sources of stress and the main source of stress among students at SRM IST College in Kattankullathur, Tamilnadu, were researched.

Objectivities To determine how stress sources are received by College students. To determine what stresses College students the most. To determine the way to deal with stress through yoga.

Materials and Methods: The students were given a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire. The 10 objects were rated on a 5-point scale, with 0 being the least stressful and 4 being the most stressful. The study included 30 students who were chosen at random.

Result & Discussion

The results of this study show that students who participated in the yoga module performed better in their overall academics as well as their individual subjects than students who did not participate in the yoga module

Summary and Conclusions

According to our data, the yoga practise group benefited more than the control group. The experimental group was significantly less stressed. On the other hand, the control group showed a modest increase but no improvement. This notion is supported by our data. Improved mindfulness, which includes specific components for processing experience, being less self-critical and empathetic to themselves, and not over-identifying with stress, was connected to greater impact in the Yoga practise group.
