Background and purpose

Little information exists regarding the association of yoga-related injuries with yoga instructor (YI) practice patterns. Therefore, this cross-sectional survey examined the screening and practice characteristics of YI and its relationship with yoga-related injuries.

Methods and materials

YI from Northeastern US completed a customized web-based 57-item questionnaire.

Results

The response rate of our questionnaire was 46%. In this study, only 8.8% of the YI reported physical performance screening and 33.7% of the participants did medical screenings with their clients. A binomial logistic regression analysis with the above variables revealed that adherence to training by YI (p = 0.031) and the use of Sun Salutations (p = 0.002) predicted lower yoga-related injuries in clients reported by YI.

Conclusions

Reduction in client yoga-related injuries was predicted by YI adhering to their training and performing Sun Salutations in their classes.

瑜伽教练的筛查及其练习模式对于防止瑜伽客户受伤是否重要？

背景和目的

关于瑜伽相关伤害与瑜伽教练 (YI) 练习模式的关联的信息很少。因此，这项横断面调查检查了 YI 的筛查和练习特征及其与瑜伽相关损伤的关系。

方法和材料

来自美国东北部的 YI 完成了一份定制的基于网络的 57 项问卷。

结果

我们问卷的回复率为46%。在这项研究中，只有 8.8% 的 YI 报告了身体表现筛查，33.7% 的参与者与他们的客户进行了医疗筛查。对上述变量进行的二项式逻辑回归分析显示，YI 坚持训练 ( p  = 0.031) 和使用拜日式 (p = 0.002) 预测了 YI 报告的客户与瑜伽相关的伤害较低。

结论

YI 坚持他们的训练并在他们的课堂上进行拜日式，预计客户与瑜伽相关的伤害会减少。
