瑜珈促進孩子記憶能力

這是一個關於11-16歲的小孩子，學習瑜珈之後，給予空間和口頭記憶測試分數，明顯高於學習美術的孩子，或者什麼都不學的對照組，有43%之多，而其他兩組幾乎沒什麼改變。此研究顯示瑜珈體位法、呼吸法、冥想、引導式的放鬆訓練，可以增進空間記憶能力。

The performance scores of children (aged 11 to 16 years) in verbal and spatial memory tests were compared for two groups (n = 30, each), one attending a yoga camp and the other a fine arts camp. Both groups were assessed on the memory tasks initially and after ten days of their respective interventions. A control group (n = 30) was similarly studied to assess the test-retest effect. At the final assessment the yoga group showed a significant increase of 43% in spatial memory scores (Multivariate analysis, Tukey test), while the fine arts and control groups showed no change. The results suggest that yoga practice, including physical postures, yoga breathing, meditation and guided relaxation improved delayed recall of spatial information.

許多在文字和空間記憶試驗裡的孩子(從11歲到16 年歲)被為兩組比較的性能(n = 30， 每一個)，參加一個瑜珈陣營和另一個的一一個美術陣營。 兩個組被最初和在10 天的他們的各自的干涉之后在記憶工作上評價。 一對照組(n 30 =)類似研究確定考試重複測試效應。 在最後的評價瑜珈組用空間記憶得分(多元的分析，圖基測試)顯示一個43%的顯著的增加， 當美術和對照組沒有顯示變化時。 結果建議瑜珈實踐，包括物質姿態，瑜珈呼吸，沈思並且指導鬆弛改進延遲的空間訊息的回憶。
