Effect of Mindfulness- Based Cognitive Therapy Training on Physiological Variables of Physical Education Students

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of mindfulness based cognitive therapy training on physiological variables of physical education students. Subjects: The subjects for this study were selected from the pool of Physical Education students at APS University, with a specific focus on individuals aged 18 to 30 years. A total of 30 subjects were chosen to participate in the study. The selection process ensured that all participants were currently enrolled in the university's Physical Education program Methods: The selection of variables for this study includes vital capacity and blood pressure, each chosen to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) was obtained by using Dry Spirometry and Sphygmomanometer. Hypothesis: There is no significant change in systolic & diastolic blood pressure and vital capacity levels of Physical Education students before and after MBCT training. Statistic: The t-test was applied to compare the mean scores of vital capacity and blood pressure pre-intervention with those post-intervention. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Conclusion: Distribution of means of Physiological variables such as Systolic & diastolic Blood pressure and Vital Capacity were compared across before and after training program (pre and post data), it was evident Systolic & diastolic Blood pressure and Vital Capacity were significantly difference in the post test data from compared to Pre-test.
