The effect of yoga and relaxation changes in psychophysiological parameters in response to the stress of examination in 75 medical students was studied. Initially five parameters (anxiety level, heart rate, blood pressure, galvanic skin resistance and choice reaction time) were recorded, a month before the examination and on the day of examination. Students were then randomly divided into 3 group of 25 each. One group practiced yoga (Group- Y), and another group practiced relaxation (group-R) regularly for three months. The third group was control group (Group-C). All the parameters were recorded after the changes in anxiety level, heart rate, blood pressure, and galvanic skin resistance in response to stress of examination were significantly attenuated and there was significant improvement in choice reaction time in Group-Y and Group-R as compared to Group-C after yoga and relaxation.
研究了瑜伽和放松对 75 名医学生应对考试压力的心理生理参数的影响。最初记录了五个参数（焦虑水平、心率、血压、皮肤电导率和选择反应时间），在考试前一个月和考试当天。然后，学生被随机分为三组，每组 25 人。一组进行瑜伽练习（Y 组），另一组进行放松练习（R 组），为期三个月。第三组为对照组（C 组）。在焦虑水平、心率、血压和皮肤电导率对考试压力的反应明显减弱后，记录所有参数，并且在瑜伽和放松后，Y 组和 R 组的选择反应时间明显改善，与 C 组相比。
