“…Given this, we considered the effects of stressors when broadly categorised as physical or psychological stressors (Dayas et al, 2001;Parati et al, 1988). Although the stress reactivity to physical stressors such as CPT can be reduced using multiple session practise of yoga-based interventions (Rankhambe & Pande, 2021), the four out of five meditation studies involving physical stressors (CPT) in this review did not report any significant effect (Carpenter et al, 2019;Grant et al, 2013;Hirshberg et al, 2018;Smith & Norman, 2017). On the contrary, 16 out of 17 studies involving psychological stressors did report beneficial effect of meditation.…”

This systematic review synthesises the evidence for the effectiveness of a single session of yoga or its components including meditation and breathing techniques in reducing acute stress reactivity in healthy adults. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, CINAHL, and PsycINFO on 30th July 2023 for randomised controlled or crossover trials of yoga components and reporting physiological and/or psychological outcome measure(s) related to stress reactivity. Risk of bias (ROB) was assessed using the Cochrane ROB 2 tool. Data were synthesised narratively. Twenty‐one out of 28 eligible studies (n = 2574) relating to 31 interventions (meditation [n = 22], breathing [n = 4] and yoga [n = 5]) reported outcomes in favour of the intervention. Stress reactivity was reported to be reduced by 71% of studies measuring physiological outcomes and 65% of studies measuring psychological outcomes. These studies show that a single session of yoga components is effective in reducing acute stress reactivity in adults and could be recommended for stress management. Future studies with larger populations and a more equal representation of genders and age groups are warranted.
