简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effect of three different pranayama techniques — Bhramari Pranayama, Om Chanting, and Nadi Shodhana Pranayama — on fine motor coordination among undergraduate medical students. Fine motor skills are essential in clinical practice, and yoga-based breathing practices have been shown to improve autonomic regulation, attention, and neuromuscular control.
A total of 150 healthy volunteers (75 males and 75 females) aged 18–24 years will be randomly allocated into three groups of 50 each. Group A will practice Bhramari Pranayama (10 minutes daily), Group B will practice Om Chanting (10 minutes daily), and Group C will practice Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (10 minutes daily), for 7 consecutive days.
The primary outcome will be the change in Tweezer Dexterity Score (TDS), measured as the number of cylindrical pins placed within 4 minutes, recorded at baseline (Day 1) and post-intervention (Day 7). Within-group comparisons and between-group analyses will be performed to assess improvement in dexterity. Gender differences will also be explored.
The findings are expected to identify which pranayama technique is most effective in enhancing fine motor coordination, with potential implications for improving psychomotor readiness in medical education.
