Abstract

The purpose of the research was to investigate using the tailor-made survey, the subjective assessment of the effect of yoga and relaxation techniques on the student's bodies. The assessment was made by the first year students of Management Department at the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, participating in compulsory yoga classes as part of physical education.The sample comprised 109 women and 82 men. The effect of yoga exer-cises on one's body was assessed by students who participated in 13-15 classes, 2 hours per week. They answered nine closed questions, evaluating the influence of yoga exercises on individual salubrious aspects and condition, and three open questions regarding the effects of yoga exercises, including questions about possible further participation in optional classes and performance of the acquired techniques at home in leisure time.The results did not reveal any significant between gender differences in the replies. The studied system of exercises contributed mostly to the improvement of general well-being and relaxation skills. The students also reported the positive impact of yoga on pro-salubrious aspects mentioned in the survey. No respondents noticed negative effects of yoga.Yoga exercises can be a very good option of physical activity as part of PE classes at universities. Students appreciate this form of physical exercise, inter alia due to improvement of general well-being and flexibility, stress reduction and acquisition of relaxation skills.
