Abstract
The purpose of this study was to perform a “Meta-analysis on the Biomechanical Studies on Yoga”. The studies used in this study were collected from online databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The articles published from 2000 to 2020 were considered. The keywords used were “yoga,” "biomechanics” and “athletes” Total studies, identified were N=4960 and the studies included for this study were sixteen (N=16). Results revealed that yogic practices can be used to improve the static and dynamic balance, muscle torque, joint moment of force, muscle activation, stabilizer of muscle, angular and linear kinematic, centre of pressure and range of motion of healthy individuals. It can be concluded that there is a strong body of knowledge of yoga studies in the field of biomechanics.
