Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Iyengar yoga practice on the lower body imbalance in middle-aged women. The subjects (n=24), who had not performed yoga training prior to this study (and) were not attending any other training programs, participated after undergoing an X-RAY examination with the Gonstead Technique and then their lower body imbalance (was reevaluated). The subjects completed the yoga program for 12 weeks (3 times per week, 90 minutes per session). The data were analyzed with the paired t-test and alpha was set at 0.05. It was found that 1) the height differences between the right and left iliac crests (p < 0.001), width (p < 0.001) and length (p < 0.001) differences between the right and left iliac fossa, and width differences between the right and left sacrum (p < 0.001) were significantly reduced after the training program. In addition, 2) the lower limb length discrepancy was significantly reduced (p < 0.001). Our data suggest that Iyengar yoga training for 12 weeks reduces the pelvic imbalance and length differences between the right and left lower limbs in middle-aged females.

본 연구는 아헹가 요가 프로그램이 중년여성의 하체불균형에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구의 대상자는 35-60세 사이의 중년여성으로서 요가 수련의 경험이 없으며 다른 운동 훈련에 참가 하지 않고, X-RAY검사와 간스테드 테크닉(Gonsted Technique) 분석을 통하여 골반불균형이면서 하지 길이의 차이가 있는 중년여성 24명을 선정하여 12주 동안, 주3회, 1일 90분 동안 수련하였다. 통계방법은 대응 t-검정을 실시하여 수련 전과 후를 비교하였고, 유의 수준은 0.05로 설정하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 첫째, 아헹가 요가는 골반 불균형을 교정하는데 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 나타냈다. 즉 골반 불균형 개선에서 좌 우 엉덩뼈 높이(p < 0.001), 좌 우 엉덩뼈 넓이 (p < 0.001), 좌 우 엉덩뼈 길이 ((p < 0.001), 좌 우 엉치뼈넓이 (p < 0.001)에서 수련 전보다 수련 후 그 차이가 감소하는 유의한 변화를 보여주었다. 둘째, 하지 길이의 변화에서는 아헹가 요가 수련 전 보다 수련 후에 좌 우 하지 길이 차이 (p < 0.001)가 현저하게 감소하였으며 통계적으로 유의한 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 아헹가 요가 수련이 중년여성의 신체불균형을 교정하는데 매우 효과가 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
