背景瑜伽课程面向在校儿童已经变得越来越普遍，但研究其对儿童的影响是缺乏的。几项研究报告了积极的成果，虽然有必要为更多的RCTs.ObjectivesTo确定瑜伽对儿童的情绪和行为功能的影响时，与体育（PE）Classes.MethodsThirty相比，中学生被随机分配到任何一个学校的阿斯汤加知情瑜伽或体育类每周三次，为期12周。情绪（即影响，自我认知）和行为（即内化和外化的问题，侵略）功能进行了测量前和后intervention.ResultsThere组之间没有显着的变化，在自我报告的积极影响，全球自我价值，侵略指数或父母报告他们的孩子的外化和内化的问题。然而，负面影响增加，为那些孩子参加瑜伽时相比，PE programme.ConclusionsIn一般情况下，研究结果表明，瑜伽和体育课不差异影响中学生的情绪和行为功能。然而，儿童报告说，在接受瑜伽后，他们的负面情绪增加，而体育组的儿童报告说，这些情绪减少。这些结果的影响和未来的研究儿童瑜伽的潜在方向进行了讨论。
BackgroundYoga programmes geared for school children have become more widespread, but research regarding its impact on children is lacking. Several studies have reported positive outcomes, though there is a need for more RCTs.ObjectivesTo determine the effects of yoga on children's emotional and behavioural functioning when compared with physical education (PE) classes.MethodsThirty middle school children were randomised to participate in either a school‐based ashtanga‐informed yoga or PE class three times a week for 12 weeks. Emotional (i.e. affect, self‐perceptions) and behavioural (i.e. internalising and externalising problems, aggression) functioning were measured pre‐ and post‐intervention.ResultsThere were no significant changes between groups in self‐reported positive affect, global self‐worth, aggression indices or parent reports of their children's externalising and internalising problems. However, negative affect increased for those children participating in yoga when compared to the PE programme.ConclusionsIn general, findings suggest that yoga and PE classes do not differentially impact on middle school children's emotional and behavioural functioning. However, children reported experiencing increased negative emotions after receiving yoga while children in the PE group reported a decrease in these feelings. Implications of these results and potential directions for future research on children's yoga are discussed.
