<p><em>This research examines the application of yoga asanas in a new level of life (new normal) during the Covid-19 virus pandemic. The discourse about the Covid-19 outbreak directs humans to be able to live healthy lives. Health is an important benchmark in the transition period to keep the body healthy during activities. Within this framework, this study uses a qualitative descriptive research method that is described using a socio-religious approach. Due to the phenomenon that occurs in society, activities that are rarely outside the home make a healthy lifestyle so important. A healthy lifestyle by applying the practice of yoga asanas during work from home is a choice for some people to make rhythm adjustments in activities in a productive way and balanced with nutritious food and drinks. Yoga asanas in physical distancing situations certainly have many benefits to support body health. Not only as a lifestyle or a healthy lifestyle, but yoga asanas has now become the most important part of implementing the natural health of the human body to increase immunity, maintain body stability, increase concentration, control thoughts, prevent depression, and even reduce stress management in the current new normal.</em></p><p> </p>
A reduced level of physical activity can cause a decline in core muscle endurance, one of which is abdominal muscle endurance. Abdominal muscle endurance plays a crucial role to support daily physical activity. Abdominal muscle endurance can be enhanced through physical exercises such as surya namaskar yoga and core stability exercise. This study aims to examine the difference in the effect of surya namaskar yoga and core stability exercise in improving abdominal muscle endurance among students of the yoga and health department at UHN I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa Denpasar. This study is an experimental study using a randomized pre- and post-test control group design. The subjects of this study were 12 students, which were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 received surya namaskar yoga and Group 2 received core stability exercise. Abdominal muscle endurance was measured using the flexor endurance muscle test. Based on the results of the independent t-test, there was a difference in the average abdominal muscle endurance after treatment between groups, with p-value = 0.008 (p <0.05), where the Mean of increase in abdominal muscle endurance in Group 1 was 20.16 ± 0.75, while in Group 2, it was 32.00 ± 2.09. Therefore, core stability exercise outweighs surya namaskar yoga in improving abdominal muscle endurance among students of yoga and health department of UHN I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa, Denpasar.
