Effect of yoga training on body shape based on principal component analysis approach

Abstract

Abstract This paper analyzes the practical strategy and significance of integrating form training in yoga training teaching and constructs an evaluation index system for yoga training teaching based on it. Secondly, a principal component analysis was used to introduce the covariance to calculate the comprehensive score of the indexes. Finally, an empirical analysis was conducted to verify the specific effects of yoga training on body shape. The research revealed that yoga asana teaching and breathing control method introduction were the primary components of yoga training, with factor loadings of 0.845 and 0.623, respectively. Yoga training significantly affected cardiorespiratory function, body fat and circumference, and flexibility, p<0.05. According to the statement, yoga training has the potential to enhance body shape and reduce body fat.
