Abstract:
Background of the study: Yoga Nidra is a type of assisted meditation that reduces stress and improves the quality of sleep by encouraging deep relaxation and enhanced parasympathetic activity. In basketball, it can significantly enhance decision-making, focus, and recovery. This study bridges a research gap by linking Yoga Nidra to long-term performance and wellbeing, hence bolstering its integration into all-encompassing training regimens. Objective: Examine how yoga nidra affects basketball players' recovery, fatigue, physiological and psychological markers, and mental attention to provide evidence-based training recommendations that significantly enhance on-court performance and overall athlete well-being. Methodology: An observational study will be used to assess how yoga nidra affects basketball players' well-being and performance. Extensive data will be collected on physical performance (reaction speed, shot accuracy, and endurance), psychological consequences (stress, sleep quality, and self-esteem), and physiological markers (blood pressure, heart rate variability). SPSS and R will be utilised for repeated measures ANOVA, correlation, regression, and SEM analysis to examine the impact of the intervention. Key findings: Yoga Nidra significantly improved basketball players' stress levels, sleep quality, and reaction times during six weeks. However, the short period and small sample size significantly restrict generalizability, requiring more research. Conclusion: Following a 6-week Yoga Nidra intervention, basketball players' stress levels, reaction times, and sleep quality were significantly improved. Practical applications include enhanced performance and recuperation, and future research should include larger sample sizes and objective measurements.
