SPORTS YOGA BASED ON THE PREVENTION OF JOINT INJURIES

ABSTRACT Introduction During sports, the athletes’ joints bear a strong overload, causing joint injuries, which have a strong impact on the sports level and shorten the sports athletes’ careers. Objective Explore the preventive effect of yoga practice on joint injuries. Methods In this study, an experimental protocol was tested. The experimental group adopted the yoga teaching method, and the control group adopted traditional massage. The interventions were performed three times a week, lasting one hour for a total of 6 months. The scores of the VAS and the Oswestry functional disorder index questionnaire were collected and compared, and the joint activity before and after the experiment was also collected and analyzed. Results Both methods can effectively improve the overall joint condition and prevent joint injury, but the effect of the yoga teaching group was superior to the massage group. Conclusion Compared to traditional massage, sport-oriented yoga training proved superior, better adapted to the actual situation of athletes, and more cost-effective. Further studies are recommended for its promotion. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.摘要 引言：运动过程中，运动员关节会承受强烈超负荷载荷，进而引发关节损伤，此类损伤会严重影响运动水平，并缩短运动员的运动生涯。 研究目的：探讨瑜伽练习对关节损伤的预防效果。 研究方法：本研究采用实验方案开展试验。实验组采用瑜伽教学干预方式，对照组采用传统按摩干预方式。两组干预频率均为每周3次，每次时长1小时，总干预周期为6个月。本研究收集并对比两组的视觉模拟评分法（Visual Analogue Scale, VAS）评分与Oswestry功能障碍指数问卷得分，同时采集并分析实验前后的关节活动度数据。 研究结果：两种干预方式均可有效改善关节整体状况、预防关节损伤，但瑜伽教学组的干预效果优于按摩组。 研究结论：相较于传统按摩，面向运动人群的瑜伽训练效果更优，更适配运动员的实际需求，且具备更高的成本效益。建议开展进一步研究以推动其推广应用。 证据等级：II级；治疗性研究——治疗结局调查。
