背景。瑜伽授权老年人研究（YESS）使用生物力学方法量化与瑜伽表演相关的身体需求。本研究评估了该计划对身体功能结果的疗效。方法。20名年龄为70.7±3.8岁的社区老年人参加了为期32周的每两周60分钟的哈达瑜伽课程。四个领域的物理测量包括(1)功能表现，(2)柔韧性，(3)肌肉力量和(4)平衡在基线，16周和32周的时间点进行。采用重复测量方差分析综合检验和Tukey事后检验来检验3个时间点上每个结果变量的差异。结果。椅子站立时间（p < 0.01）、8英尺起走时间（p < 0.05）、2分钟踏步测试时间（p < 0.05）和垂直到达时间（p = 0.05）均有显著改善。在32周的干预后，等长膝关节屈肌力量（p < 0.05）和脚跟上升试验的重复次数（p < 0.001）也增加了。灵活性和平衡性能保持不变。结论。定期练习专为老年人设计的改良哈达瑜伽课程，可以显著改善身体功能和下肢肌肉强度。这些适应符合先前报道的姿势的生物力学要求。
Background. Yoga Empowers Seniors Study (YESS) quantified physical demands associated with yoga performance using biomechanical methods. This study evaluated the efficacy of the program on physical function outcomes. Methods. Twenty community-dwelling older adults aged 70.7 ± 3.8 years attended biweekly 60-minute Hatha yoga classes for 32 weeks. Four domains of the physical measurements including (1) functional performance, (2) flexibility, (3) muscle strength, and (4) balance were taken at the baseline, 16-week and 32-week time points. Repeated-measures ANOVA omnibus tests and Tukey's post hoc tests were employed to examine the differences in each outcome variable across the 3 time points. Results. Improved timed chair stands (p < 0.01), 8-foot up and go (p < 0.05), 2-min step test (p < 0.05), and vertical reach (p = 0.05) performance were evident. Isometric knee flexor strength (p < 0.05) and repetitions of the heel rise test (p < 0.001) also increased following the 32-week intervention. Both flexibility and balance performance remained unchanged. Conclusions. Significant improvements in physical function and muscle-specific lower-extremity strength occur with the regular practice of a modified Hatha yoga program designed for seniors. These adaptations corresponded with the previously reported biomechanical demands of the poses.
