Why the study?
Yoga demonstrates preliminary efficacy in improving cognitive health, but the underlying mechanisms explaining the yoga-cognition relationship in healthy older adults require examination.
Does yoga improve cognitive health in healthy older adults?
Does yoga improve cognitive health in healthy older adults?
Yoga may improve cognitive health in healthy older adults by enhancing stress regulation and neurocognitive resource efficiency.
May support yoga for cognitive health in older adults; leaves open RCTs to confirm mechanisms and efficacy.
Yoga, a physical and contemplative practice, offers the practitioner a unique mind-body exercise experience demonstrating preliminary efficacy in improving cognitive health. We examine the evidence for underlying mechanisms that explain the yoga-cognition relationship in healthy older adults. The cognitive benefits of yoga may be the result of improved stress regulation and neurocognitive resource efficiency that facilitate bidirectional brain-body communication.
