A Study on the Promotion of Forward Bend Performance in College Students' Physical Fitness Tests through Yoga

Abstract

In recent years, with the growing concern over the physical health of college students, flexibility has received significant attention as an important component of physical fitness testing. The forward bend, as a key indicator of flexibility, effectively reflects college students' physical agility and overall health level. This study aims to investigate the promoting effect of yoga on forward bend performance in college students' physical fitness tests. By analyzing the impact of different yoga poses on body flexibility and core strength, the paper explores the mechanism through which yoga enhances forward bend performance. The results indicate that yoga training significantly improves college students' forward bend performance and provides an effective supplementary method for physical fitness testing in universities. Based on these findings, this paper proposes the application of yoga in university physical fitness tests.
