Abstract

Background: Overweight is a big problem for sportspersons. Excess body weight affects sportsperson's skills and performances. Excess body fat in sportspersons also increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, arthritis, and allied problems. Objectives: This study was designed to assess the impact of yoga–Preksha meditation on obesity in sportspersons. Materials and Method: The participants were selected randomly from the Physical Education Department of Chaudhary Devi Lal University, Sirsa. Totally seventy students were incorporated in the study. They were divided into two groups of 35 each. Group I was termed as “experimental” and Group II was considered as “control” group. The experimental group was progressively introduced to the selected yogic exercises and Preksha meditation. The practice session was conducted for 60 min on all weekdays except Sundays for a period of 4 months. Control group was not given any such training. Pre data (0 day) and Post data (after 4 months) of both groups i.e. height, weight and body mass index (BMI) was taken. The difference in the percentage of participants improving in the experimental group and the corresponding control group was tested for significance of difference by computing Student's t-test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant reduction in body weight and BMI in experimental group which may be attributed to the dominance of parasympathetic component of autonomic nervous system and simultaneous balance in the stimulatory activity of sympathetic components too. This might have caused alteration in fat mobilization which resulted in reduction in body weight and BMI. Conclusion: The regular practice of yoga–Preksha meditation is helpful in managing the problem of obesity in sportspersons and improves their performance.

Abstract

Soil enzymes play a crucial role in agriculture as they are important for several vital biochemical reactions necessary for the life processes of soil microbes along with the maintenance of soil structure, decomposition and formation of organic matter and nutrient mineralization. Thus, soil enzymes are instrumental in the maintenance of soil ecosystem. Several factors that affect soil-plant-microorganism and their interaction in turn determine the productivity and activity of soil enzymes. A better understanding of the role of soil enzymes in maintaining soil health, along with the development of rapid and easier protocols for their measurement, will provide us with the opportunity to design novel integrated soil assessment methods leading to more efficient and eco-friendly soil management programmes. Furthermore, harnessing beneficial soil enzymes through currently available technologies will enable in situ applications of desired soil enzymes for restoration of polluted soils. Present article focuses on occurrence of soil enzymes, methods for determining their activity, current developments in mining these enzymes using metagenomic approach and factors affecting the activity of soil enzymes along with the importance of various soil enzymes.
