摘要

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of a thirty-minute session of Hatha yoga and a thirty-minute session of resistance-based aerobic exercise on balance and vestibulo-ocular reflex in adult female yoga practitioners.

Methods

Ten participants underwent balance and vestibulo-ocular reflex assessments at rest, after Hatha yoga, and after resistance-based aerobic exercise. Balance was measured using computerized dynamic posturography, and vestibulo-ocular reflex was evaluated with a functional head impulse test. The Hatha yoga session included twenty-five minutes of yoga poses followed by five minutes of relaxation. The aerobic exercise session was performed at an intensity of seventy to seventy-five percent of heart rate reserve.

Results

No significant changes were observed in vestibulo-ocular reflex parameters across conditions. However, balance scores showed significant improvements following resistance-based aerobic exercise compared to both resting and Post-Yoga conditions. The somatosensory and visual system scores increased significantly after resistance-based aerobic exercise, as did the overall balance score. Lower body weight, lean body mass, and total body water were positively associated with better balance outcomes.

Conclusion

While neither Hatha yoga nor resistance-based aerobic exercise acutely influenced vestibulo-ocular reflex, resistance-based aerobic exercise had immediate positive effects on balance and postural stability.
