ABSTRACT

As an ancient practice method, yoga training is composed of asana practice, meditation, breathing and sitting meditation. It can be summarized into two parts: meditation, breathing and self-awareness based on mindfulness practice and asana movement based on physical quality practice. Therefore, yoga is deeply loved by female college students, but yoga teaching injury also occurs from time to time. Functional motor screening is an action mode evaluation system. Through screening tests on the human body, it can intuitively present the problems existing in the flexibility and stability of the human body, and evaluate the movement disorders and weak chain of the human body. It plays a certain role in improving sports performance and reducing the risk of sports injury. Therefore, this paper will use FMS to evaluate and test the yoga practice of female college students in Changde City. The experiment adopts sampling survey method, experimental analysis method and mathematical statistics method to study. In the experiment, 100 female college students were selected as the data set and divided into experimental group and control group. The results showed that after 12 weeks of FMS test, the body of female college students had the following changes: BMI decreased by -1.43±0.09, and *P<0.05, indicating that the difference was significant; WHR, the waist-to-hip ratio of female college students, decreased by -0.06±0.08, and **P<0.01; PBF body fat percentage also decreased by -1.62±2.50, and *P<0.05,; The sit-and-reach forward flexion was increased by 2.89±0.05, and **P<0.01,; However, FVC increased by 270.4±19.4, and **P<0.01; The FMS test score increased from 11.62±1.93 to 14.13±1.57, and P=0.00<0.01 was found after T calculation of the experimental data. All these show that yoga training can optimize the proportion of body composition and beautification of body shape after correction training, especially the most obvious impact on waist-hip ratio, and has a good function of reducing fat and molding.
