The effect of yoga on health development of the elderly in Amphoe Na Dun Mahasarakham

Abstract

            This Research aims to study was to study the effect and compare the effects of yoga on health development of the elderly in Amphoe Na Dun Mahasarakam. Population and sample used in research. There are 30 male and female volunteers aged 30 and over in Na Dun district Mahasarakam. They practice yoga for 10 weeks, 3 days each, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 17.30-18.30. Composed of yoga programs. General Information Inquiries and physical and mental health recordings. To collect data, there are physical and mental health tests. Before and after training to evaluate the health after the end of yoga. The statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test. The findings are as follows: Average development of physical and mental health. All indicators are as follows: Body Mass Index Fat Percentage Cholesterol (Cholesterol) Triglyceride Fat (Triglyceride) LDL Cholesterol (LDL-Cholesterol) was lower than before training. Legs of legs and back. Right shoulder weakness Left shoulder balance, Stability, Squeezing, Lung capacity, High blood pressure, Systolic blood pressure, Diastolic pressure, Pulse rate, Types of HDL Cholesterol (HDL-Cholesterol) is higher than before training. And the difference test of the mean of physical and mental health development. Before and after the 10-week training period of the sample, diastolic blood pressure (LDL) (Cholesterol) Triglyceride Fat (Triglyceride) LDL Cholesterol (LDL-Cholesterol) HDL Cholesterol (HDL-Cholesterol) were significantly different at .05 level except body weight. Systolic blood pressure and pulse rate. There was no statistically significant difference at .05 level. Right shoulder weakness Left shoulder weakness Fat, hand compression, lung capacity and high jump were statistically significant difference at the .05 level except body mass index and balance were not significantly different at the .05 level. And the comparison of physical and mental health development with standard criteria showed that the mean of cholesterol fat (Cholesterol) Triglyceride Fat (Triglyceride) and HDL Cholesterol (HDL-Cholesterol) of the subjects before and after training was normal compared to the standard. The average of cholesterol LDL cholesterol of the sample showed that before the training was high. However, after training, it was found to be normal compared to the standard gauge. The average body mass index the sample size was lower than before and after the training. The mean score of the legs and the back of the sample was at a moderate level, both before and after the training. The mean of the right shoulder weakness of the samples was moderate and before and after the training. The mean of the left shoulder weakness of the subjects was moderate and before and after the training. The mean balance of the sample was found to be low before and after training. The average of fat percentage of the sample was found before and after the training level is low compared to the standard. The mean pre-training force of the sample was low. After practice, the level is relatively low compared to the benchmark. The mean of the lung capacity of the pre-training sample was moderate. However, after the training is very good compared to the benchmark. The mean of high jump before and after training was low. However, after a good level of practice compared to the benchmark.
