本研究主要目的旨在探討棒球選手接受瑜伽訓練後，其柔軟度和爆發力的變化。本研究以50位青少棒選手為研究對象，隨機分為控制組與瑜伽訓練組，每組25位選手。控制組為不參與瑜伽訓練課程，而瑜伽訓練組則施以六週，每週三次的瑜伽訓練課程。測驗項目為坐姿體前彎及跨步擺臂垂直跳，在訓練前進行前測、六週訓練後進行後測，並將測驗數據以二因子混合變異數分析進行差異性比較。研究結果顯示：一、柔軟度部分，瑜伽訓練組顯著優於控制組；二、爆發力部分，瑜伽訓練組顯著優於控制組。結論：瑜伽訓練組在接受瑜伽訓練和棒球技能訓練後，不僅能有效提昇柔軟度，而且也能提昇爆發力。
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of yoga training on flexibility and power of baseball players. Fifty baseball players who were further divided into two groups (control group and yoga training group) participated in this study. The training of each group was conducted three times a week for sixconsecutiveweeks. All of the subjects experienced tests of sit and reachand counter movement jump before and after the six-weektraining period.Two-way mixed design factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare main effects and interactions. Results showed that the flexibility of the yoga training group was significantly higher than the control group.Meanwhile, the power of the yoga training group was significantly higher than the control group. In conclusion, yoga training showed significant contribution to increase the flexibility and power of the subjects.
