Brief Summary:
Objectives The objective of this study is to examine the effects of yoga exercises on the postural habits and cognitive statutes of the theater students enrolled in the Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Performing Arts
Method A total of 30 volunteers were included in the study with 15 assigned to the control group and 15 to the experimental group The efficacy of yoga training was evaluated using pre- and post-intervention scales The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI Postural Habit P Habit and Awareness P Awareness scales and the Çarkcı Theatre Performance Anxiety Scale Çr Theatre Performance Anxiety Scale were employed for this purpose Training was conducted twice weekly for a period of 12 weeks

Detailed Description:
Yoga is regarded as a mind-body exercise It emphasizes the interconnection between the body mind and spirit and their significance in all facets of personal growth and well-being It encompasses a diverse array of postures exercises breathing techniques and meditation practices The fundamental premise underlying these exercises is the notion that an individual39s physiological state can influence their emotional cognitive and attitudinal processes
The term 34mindfulness34 refers to an individual39s capacity to engage with their experience in a deliberate manner with a focus on the present moment The term 34mindfulness34 is defined as the act of accepting and approving the present moment without allowing it to be influenced by past experiences or future expectations The term 34active exploration34 is used to describe a range of operations including selection grasping the foundation simplification abstraction analysis and synthesis completion verification comparison and problem solving These processes are not indicative of any specific mental function rather they represent the training of cognitive material at any level of the human and animal mind The prevailing view is that art is a cognitive process and a valuable tool for experimental research particularly in demonstrating the multiple cognitive abilities that children possess Body awareness entails the conscious observation of bodily sensations and the cultivation of proprioceptive consciousness In addition it is closely related to and strongly linked with the postural awareness structure The human body is susceptible to a multitude of factors that can influence its posture These encompass physical physiological emotional and environmental elements Daily routines and behavioral patterns frequently result in deviations from the optimal body position leading to alterations in posture The development of poor posture habits can result in alterations to muscle tone and body alignment which may subsequently give rise to the formation of poor posture patterns and generalized body asymmetry It is crucial to be aware of improved ergonomics in order to prevent the onset of musculoskeletal disorders associated with poor posture An understanding of posture can facilitate the implementation of changes in posture habits
Performance anxiety is an emotional state that causes a decrease in students39 performances due to the fear of being negatively evaluated by instructors in competitive situations such as exams or concerts or in situations where their proficiency is tested such as in musical performances In this context the most important factors affecting stage performance can be summarized as motivation self-determination difficulty-skill balance social-physical anxiety concepts Indeed for an individual to achieve success on the stage it is essential to possess a high level of motivation a distinctive determination a balanced perception of the level of difficulty and skill required for the role and a healthy level of social physical anxiety Sleep quality is a significant factor in cognitive and emotional functioning and its impairment can have a detrimental impact on an individual39s social life and general health status The study conducted by İyigün et al underscores the importance of healthy self-determination processes and sleep quality as key determinants of the quality of life of students People with sleep disorders can gain a healthy sleep cycle by addressing their mental emotional and physical treatment needs with exercise practices These exercise practices include strengthening stretching Pilates and yoga exercises The therapeutic effects of yoga exercises are produced through physiological mechanisms with significant benefits for physical and emotional health The practices associated with yoga have been observed to extend to the musculoskeletal system connective tissues and mental focus This results in the acquisition of physical flexibility which allows the player to utilize the various parts of the body in a more optimal manner An actor with high body and posture awareness can analyze how to apply the body form desired by the director or role use it functionally and be more successful in maintaining continuity
It is hypothesized that this situation can positively affect the level of anxiety The exercises that the players perform particularly those designed to relax them will prevent the development of unnecessary muscle tension They will also facilitate increased self-control over their bodies expand their range of movement on the stage and provide integrity precision comfort and harmony in movements It is anticipated that the actor who has been initiated into the practice of yoga will demonstrate an understanding of the psychological challenges associated with performance anxiety Additionally they will exhibit an awareness of the scene in which they are engaged and a capacity to safeguard their physical well-being through the development of postural awareness thereby mitigating potential physical and ergonomic risks The objective of the stage artist is to recreate the reality of life on the stage In order to achieve this it is essential that they pay attention to their body motivation and musculoskeletal system However it is also crucial to consider the physical ergonomic risks that may arise when performing The field of physical ergonomics is concerned with the physiological responses of the human body to physical work activities also known as work physiology as well as the impact of physical dimensions on an employee39s abilities which is referred to as anthropometry In this instance it can be posited that the manner in which an individual presents themselves on stage the style of expression they employ and their overall demeanor are all influenced by body ergonomics In contrast to the visual arts where the majority of ergonomic hazards in the workplace are associated with toxic substances musculoskeletal issues related to occupational activities have been a significant area of concern for performing artists In studies of dancers and instrumental musicians the vast majority of subjects reported both acute and chronic disabling musculoskeletal disorders
The principal objective of this study was to reveal the effect of yoga exercises on posture habits and awareness sleep quality and stage performance anxiety in theater students enrolling at the Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Performing Arts
