THE EFFECTIVENESS OF YOGA AND MINDFULNESS IN INJURY REHABILITATION AMONG BRITISH RUNNERS

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether including yoga and mindfulness exercises in injury rehabilitation regimens for British runners can be beneficial. Since injuries are prevalent among runners and can influence physical and mental health, it is critical to investigate alternatives to standard recovery. The research measures the effectiveness of yoga and its mindfulness in injury rehabilitation among British runners. A mixed-methods approach was used, which included both a quantities study of participant experiences and a quantitative investigation of injury therapeutic rates. British runners receiving normal rehabilitation were placed in a control group and an experimental group that received yoga and mindfulness interventions. Overall, the research study measured the smart PLS Algorithm model and created informative results, including descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients that present the smart PLS Algorithm model between them. Over the course of six months, information on pain thresholds, range of motion, psychological health, and injury medicinal rates was gathered. Quantitative data analysis also investigated how the participants perceived the intervention. According to preliminary research, integrating yoga and mindfulness techniques may help British runners heal from injuries more quickly, feel less pain, be more flexible, and generally feel better. More investigation is necessary to verify these results and clarify underlying mechanisms using bigger sample sizes and longer follow-up times. The overall result found that there is a direct and significant link between the effectiveness of yoga and mindfulness in injury rehabilitation among British runners. However, this study emphasises how alternative therapies like yoga and mindfulness may help runners get the best possible results from their injury rehabilitation.
