Identifier	Thesis 2166

Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Yoga is known for its ability to relax. The combination of stretching and deep breathing can relieve tension and provide a sense of calmness. The study examined the effects of yoga on Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) performance of elementary school children. The purpose of the study was to see if those students participating in yoga prior to testing would have increased scores as compared to those students who did not participate in yoga prior to testing. The total participants in this study were 258, which included third (n =127) grade and fourth (n = 132) students. Of these students, 128 were males and 138 were females. Prior to testing each morning, the third grade students went down to the gymnasium to participate in a 30 minute yoga DVD “Yoga-Fit Kids”. The fourth grades students did not participate in yoga prior to testing. The measuring instrument used in this study was the results of the raw mathematics score from the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT). The student scores are based upon an absolute standard and not compared to one another. These standards are recognized by the Connecticut Curriculum Frameworks. After the scores were collected, two statistical analyses were run to determine if there was a difference in scores of students who participated in yoga and students who did not participate in yoga. There was no significance found between those who participated in yoga and those who did not participate in yoga with respect to the total raw math score for the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT). Although the findings of this study do not promote the effects of yoga on Connecticut Mastery Test performance in elementary students, yoga can still offer a positive added bonus to physical education class. Physical educators can use this information to promote yoga in addition to daily physical exercise. Future researchers will be able to focus on what tools can be used to motivate students to perform well on standardized tests.
