Abstract
Reaction time is the easiest methods of assessing the sensory and motor performance of an
individual. It is an indicator of performance in surgeons, sports personnel etc. Yoga can improve
the reaction time. Hence, this study was undertaken to study the effect of yoga training on visual
and auditory reaction time. Fifty healthy subjects aged between 18 and 25 years were selected.
Auditory reaction time and visual reaction time were assessed before and after yoga training. There
was significant decrease (p<0.05) in the alert values of both Auditory reaction time and Visual
reaction time after two months of yoga training. Yoga training enhances the reaction times which
are helpful in surgeons, sportsmen and skilled workers.
