Key result
Consistent yogic protocols linked to improved HRV, regulated cortisol, and enhanced performance in Kho-Kho players.
Why the study?
As sports science focuses on internal physiological regulation, yoga offers a methodology to balance the autonomic nervous system against the high-intensity demands of intermittent sports like Kho-Kho.
Do Yogic Protocols improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV), cortisol regulation, and explosive power in Kho-Kho players?
Do Yogic Protocols improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV), cortisol regulation, and explosive power in Kho-Kho players?
Yogic protocols may serve as a sustainable intervention to balance the autonomic nervous system and improve physiological and performance markers in Kho-Kho players.
May support yogic protocols in athlete training for autonomic balance; extends evidence to Kho-Kho performance optimization.
This research examines Yogic Protocols as a primary intervention for improving holistic health and athletic performance in Kho-Kho. As sports science shifts toward internal physiological regulation, Yoga offers a methodology for balancing the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) against the high-intensity demands of intermittent sports. This study analyzes the correlation between consistent practice and multidimensional markers such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), cortisol regulation, and explosive power. The findings advocate for Yoga as a sustainable, cost-effective solution for long-term health and peak performance.
