Anxiety is becoming more common in children and can negatively affect social and academic performance. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of 10 min of yoga on anxiety in third- and fourth-graders over 8 weeks.
Participants completed 10 min of yoga daily during the school week. Participants completed the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders anxiety screening tool at the beginning and after the program.
Paired sample t test noted a significant difference between pretest and posttest raw scores in the category of generalized anxiety disorder. On average, participants had significantly decreased raw anxiety scores after completing the program (mean = -0.0308), t = -3.137, p < .05.
This study demonstrates that yoga practiced as little as 10 min a day over 8 weeks can have a significant impact on decreasing anxiety in children aged 8-10 years.
焦虑在儿童中越来越常见，会对社交和学业表现产生负面影响。本研究旨在探讨 8 周内每天进行 10 分钟瑜伽对三、四年级学生焦虑的影响。
参与者在上学期间每天完成 10 分钟的瑜伽。参与者在计划开始前和结束后完成儿童焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查工具。
配对样本 t 检验显示，广泛性焦虑障碍类别中，前测和后测原始分数之间存在显著差异。平均而言，参与者在完成该计划后，原始焦虑得分显著降低（平均 = -0.0308），t = -3.137，p <.05。
本研究表明，每天练习 10 分钟瑜伽，持续 8 周，对 8-10 岁儿童的焦虑有显著影响。
