本研究探讨了为期 12 周的校内瑜伽干预对 9 年级和 10 年级学生平均绩点 (GPA) 变化的影响。参与者包括 2010 年春季注册参加体育课 (PE) 的 95 名高中生。体育课部分被随机分组，接受瑜伽干预或常规体育控制条件。瑜伽干预在学年的整个第三季度和第四季度的一半期间进行，季度 GPA 是在学年结束时通过学校记录收集的。结果显示，小组和季度之间存在显着的交互作用，表明随着时间的推移，瑜伽组和对照组之间的 GPA 存在差异。事后测试显示，虽然两组学生的 GPA 在学年中普遍下降，但对照组从第一季度到第三季度的 GPA 下降幅度明显大于瑜伽组。瑜伽干预结束后，第四季度两组的 GPA 均出现了同等下降。结果表明，瑜伽可能通过防止 GPA 下降而对学习成绩产生保护作用；然而，一旦停止瑜伽练习，这些预防作用可能不会持续。
This study involves an exploratory examination of the effects of a 12-week school-based yoga intervention on changes in grade point average (GPA) in 9th and 10th grade students. Participants included 95 high school students who had registered for physical education (PE) in spring 2010. PE class sections were group randomized to receive either a yoga intervention or a PE-as-usual control condition. The yoga intervention took place during the entire third quarter and half of the fourth quarter of the school year, and quarterly GPA was collected via school records at the end of the school year. Results revealed a significant interaction between group and quarter suggesting that GPA differed between the yoga and control groups over time. Post hoc tests revealed that while both groups exhibited a general decline in GPA over the school year, the control group exhibited a significantly greater decline in GPA from quarter 1 to quarter 3 than the yoga group. Both groups showed equivalent declines in GPA in quarter 4 after the yoga intervention had ended. The results suggest that yoga may have a protective effect on academic performance by preventing declines in GPA; however these preventive effects may not persist once yoga practice is discontinued.
