SPORTS YOGA BASED ON THE PREVENTION OF JOINT INJURIES

ABSTRACT Introduction During sports, the athletes’ joints bear a strong overload, causing joint injuries, which have a strong impact on the sports level and shorten the sports athletes’ careers. Objective Explore the preventive effect of yoga practice on joint injuries. Methods In this study, an experimental protocol was tested. The experimental group adopted the yoga teaching method, and the control group adopted traditional massage. The interventions were performed three times a week, lasting one hour for a total of 6 months. The scores of the VAS and the Oswestry functional disorder index questionnaire were collected and compared, and the joint activity before and after the experiment was also collected and analyzed. Results Both methods can effectively improve the overall joint condition and prevent joint injury, but the effect of the yoga teaching group was superior to the massage group. Conclusion Compared to traditional massage, sport-oriented yoga training proved superior, better adapted to the actual situation of athletes, and more cost-effective. Further studies are recommended for its promotion. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
