Abstract

Yoga has its roots in India's Vedic era. Practising it enhances the overall health and well-being of students. Superbrain yoga (SBY) is a brief exercise based on the principle of ear acupuncture and repetitive 14 squats. It is practised by many students in India and across other parts of the world. This systematic review assesses SBY on students' cognitive abilities, academic performance, as well as mental health benefits and discusses if using SBY in academic settings is viable. The intervention studies of SBY or mixed with other exercises practiced by the student population published in journals and indexed in Web of Science, SCOPUS, and PubMed, are taken into consideration for this review based on PRISMA guidelines. The primary keywords include Superbrain Yoga, Thoppukaranam, and Super Brain Yoga. Studies published in English peer-reviewed journals between 2005 to 2021 were considered. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The review found that SBY practise was feasible in academic settings, with advantages to students' cognitive state (memory, attention, concentration), academic performance, and mental health Additionally, SBY and other yogasana were proven to be beneficial in raising cognitive activity and promoting positive behavioural improvements in students with special needs. More rigorous trials on SBY are needed to substantiate the effectiveness.

在学术环境中练习超脑瑜伽的可行性:系统综述

瑜伽起源于印度的吠陀时代。练习它可以提高学生的整体健康和福祉。超级大脑瑜伽(SBY)是一种基于耳针和重复深蹲原理的简短运动。印度和世界其他地区的许多学生都在练习。本系统综述评估了SBY对学生认知能力、学习成绩以及心理健康的益处，并讨论了在学术环境中使用SBY是否可行。根据PRISMA指南，本综述考虑了发表在期刊上并被Web of Science、SCOPUS和PubMed索引的学生群体进行的SBY干预研究或与其他练习混合进行的研究。主要关键词包括超级大脑瑜伽，Thoppukaranam和超级大脑瑜伽。研究人员考虑了2005年至2021年间发表在英文同行评议期刊上的研究。15项研究符合纳入标准。审查发现，在学术环境中，SBY练习是可行的，对学生的认知状态(记忆、注意力、注意力)、学习成绩和心理健康都有好处。此外，SBY和其他瑜伽体式被证明对有特殊需要的学生提高认知活动和促进积极的行为改善是有益的。需要对SBY进行更严格的试验来证实其有效性。
