“…According to the results found in the study, a high degree of significance and relationship between variables can be deduced, so that from the deductions obtained, it can be seen that the practice of yoga generates in the student a series of strategies and techniques that will serve to improve both the academic area and the personal or social area. This research is verified with the results obtained in [29], which stated that yoga improves memory and cognitive functions in the target subjects. Also, in this line, given the potential benefits of yoga for populations living with high stress, it is important to develop more outreach efforts and provide accessible, acceptable, and affordable opportunities for the practice of yoga [30].…”

Yoga is a growing sport in our current society, but we know little about it; what repercussions it has, what benefits its practice brings, repercussions in the educational environment, etc. Therefore, the objective of the article was to analyze if it is possible to design a scale of perception that relates yoga, teacher training, sport, benefits of yoga, and inclusive sport. The objective was to analyze and demonstrate the relationship between variables determining how the academic performance of the students can be improved, since the practice of yoga influences on diverse areas that cause changes at brain level in the students, and it can lead to better attentiveness, memory, etc. For this, a descriptive, explanatory, and correlational research project has been carried out with a quantitative methodology. The analysis sample was made up of 1575 subjects, distributed as follows: 1191 students of the Degree in Primary Education of the University of Jaén (from first to fourth course) and 384 teachers corresponding to different public centers of the province of Jaén. In order to investigate the objective, an operational table was created to construct the Likert scale. The original scale consisted of 20 items reporting an alpha of 0.826, we achieved a reduction of four items, with a higher reliability (0.846), divided into five different dimensions. Likewise, construct validity was checked from a factorial analysis (KM0 = 0.787, Bartlett 0.000). The results of the research have been satisfactory, given that when analyzing the variables proposed in the initial objective, a high degree of correlation has been obtained between them, which supposes, applying it to the educational scope, a great incentive to carry it out in the educational centers, and, therefore, to improve the academic, personal, and social performance of the student.

“…The remaining papers, including those from Brazil and the United States, have been developed with participants from different countries in Europe (22), where Spain, Greece and Norway are the countries with the most publications, as well as Japan or Thailand in Asia (11), while Brazil and the United States, as previously described, had most of the publications in the Americas (14). From all the included papers, there was an unusual sample of participants from two articles [65,75] composed of people from different countries and/or continents.…”

“…In this way, there were 14 studies (21%) out of the 66 included where there was not a physical exercise intervention. The rest of studies included physical exercise interventions with differences in the length of those, from ve weeks (the shortest one) [61] to ve years [65]. In relation to the weekly frequency of physical exercise sessions, most of the interventions had two (29%) or three (52%) sessions per week in comparison to those with four [71] or ve [69] weekly sessions.…”

Background: This systematic review provides an overview about those papers with a specific physical exercise intervention aimed to improve physical, cognitive and/or emotional outcomes in healthy older people aged 60 or over. Studies with no intervention whose sample were active healthy older adults were also included.Methods: An exhaustive literature search was done through two databases, including studies from January 2000 to July 2020. Results: Of the 2006 identified records, 66 met the inclusion criteria and were selected. Results from the review showed a wide variety of older adults and lengths of the interventions, from five weeks (the shortest one) to five years. Aerobic exercise, either isolated or combined with strength performance, was also the most common type of exercise recognized in this systematic review.Conclusions: Findings also suggest that the number of studies with all, physical, cognitive and emotional outcomes have been increasing during recent years in healthy older adults.

“…Structured exercise was investigated in 61 (57%) intervention groups, including strength/resistance/power exercise (14 intervention groups) [25,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50], balance/functional/neuromotor exercise (4 intervention groups) [43,[51][52][53], walking (1 intervention group) [54], endurance exercise (2 intervention groups) [55,56], and multicomponent exercise (39 intervention groups) [40,42,43,49,. Recreation/ sport was investigated in 24 (25%) intervention groups, including Tai chi (15 intervention groups), [48,50,78,[100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115], yoga and Pilates (3 intervention groups) [116][117][118], dance (5 interventio...…”

Background Knowledge of which physical activity programs are most effective for older adults in different sub-populations and contexts is limited. The objectives of this rapid review were to: 1) Overview evidence evaluating physical activity programs/services for older adults; and 2) Describe impact on physical activity, falls, intrinsic capacity (physical domain), functional ability (physical, social, and cognitive/emotional domains), and quality of life. Methods We conducted a rapid review of primary studies from 350 systematic reviews identified in a previous scoping review (March 2021: PEDro, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Database). For Objective 1, we included intervention studies investigating physical activity programs/services in adults ≥ 60 years. Of these, we included good quality (≥ 6/10 PEDro scale) randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with ≥ 50 participants per group in Objective 2. Results Objective 1: Of the 1421 intervention studies identified from 8267 records, 79% were RCTs, 87% were in high income countries and 39% were good quality. Objective 2: We identified 87 large, good quality RCTs (26,861 participants). Overall activity promotion, structured exercise and recreation/sport had positive impacts (≥ 50% between-group comparisons positive) across all outcome domains. For overall activity promotion (21 intervention groups), greatest impacts were on physical activity (100% positive) and social outcomes (83% positive). Structured exercise (61 intervention groups) had particularly strong impacts on falls (91% positive), intrinsic capacity (67% positive) and physical functioning (77% positive). Recreation/sport (24 intervention groups) had particularly strong impacts on cognitive/emotional functioning (88% positive). Multicomponent exercise (39 intervention groups) had strong impacts across all outcomes, particularly physical activity (95% positive), falls (90% positive) and physical functioning (81% positive). Results for different populations and settings are presented. Conclusion Evidence supporting physical activity for older adults is positive. We outline which activity types are most effective in different populations and settings.
