The Significance of Health education, Taekwondo, and Yoga Training for Women's Physical and Psychological fitness

Abstract

Women can lead a happy and healthy life by engaging in physical activity. Unfortunately, they are less health-conscious than men. This fact has been raised and debated around the world for decades. Health is a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not simply the absence of disease. Especially for women, it shows that in order to achieve health, the above components must be satisfied. Physical and Psychological analyses were performed in this study using experimental methods. The essential factors for maintaining good health are many, and everyone has to follow good health practices in their day-to-day lives. However, if we are not fit, our movement decreases and our joints become stiff and prone to injury. Many health problems related to physical and psychological factors can be controlled or eliminated through known physical activities. This paper describes the role of health education, taekwondo, and yogic training for women on physical and psychological fitness levels. The study has been carried out through an experimental study by imparting health education theory and, in practical settings, selected martial arts and yoga training on flexibility and mental health variables. And in order to serve this purpose, a total of 40 sedentary women from universities were randomly selected as subjects for the study. The subjects were further divided into two groups (Group "A" control and Group "B" experimental) of 20 subjects each with a pretest. Group "B" was given 60 minutes of training per day for three days a week for a period of two months. The fitness management awareness class is provided once a week. At the end of the second month of training, both group subjects were retested as a post-test. The post-test data were collected on all selected variables of the study. A t-test was used to analyze the data by variables. The level of significance chosen was 0.05. In conclusion, health education, taekwondo exercises, and yogic exercises showed highly significant improvements in mental health and flexibility variables from pre- to post-test in the experimental group compared to the control group.
