| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated heart rate, sympathetic/parasympathetic activity, POMS short version, MCL-3, and so on to clarify the effect of maternity yoga on the emotional heart and autonomic nervous system regulation of pregnant women who are doing yoga. From the result of 21 pregnant women, the parasympathetic nervous system becomes dominant markedly by the practice of Yoga Maternity revealed. In addition, from the change in the scale score that indicates the mood and emotions, satisfaction and a feeling of pleasantness, relaxation, and comfort is enhanced by yoga. On the other hand, negative emotions score, such as tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, Fatigue, and Confusion, was decreased.
