YOGA: KINESIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OR MORE?

Abstract

Kineziologija je znanost koja proučava procese upravljanog tjelesnog vježbanja i posljedice djelovanja tih procesa na ljudski organizam. Ciljevi kinezioloških aktivnosti mogu biti unaprjeĎenje zdravlja, prevencija kroničnih nezaraznih bolesti, razvoj motoričkih i funkcionalnih sposobnosti te postizanja optimalnog odnosa promjenjivih morfoloških karakteristika. U ponudi kinezioloških aktivnosti u fitness centrima često možemo naići na sustav vježbanja pod nazivom joga. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je analizom doktrine, povijesnih značajki, oblika i stupnjeva joge prezentirati stvarnu narav i osnovni cilj joge, koji se ne podudara s osnovnim ciljem kinezioloških aktivnosti. TakoĎer, prezentirat će se dio vježbi koje se uobičajeno koriste u standardnim kineziološkim aktivnostima, a podudaraju se s vježbama u hatha jogi. Prikazane vježbe primjer su kako, ako se odbaci duhovni aspekt joge, ostaje konvencionalni oblik vježbanja, kojeg onda ne treba niti nazivati joga.Kinesiology is a science that studies processes of physical activity and consequences of those processes on the human body. The main goals of kinesiological activities are improving health, prevention of cronical non contagious diseases, development of motor skills, functional abilities and achieving optimal balance of changable motorical characteristics. There are many activities in fitness centres where exercise system by the name of yoga is offered. The aim of this graduate thesis is to present real characteristics and the main goals of yoga. It will be done by analizing its doctrine, historical features, and various shapes and degrees of yoga which contribute to a goal that is different from the main goal of kinesiological activities. Also, some of the activities which are usually used in standard kinesiological activities and whitch match with activities in hatha yoga, will be presented. Shown excercises are an example that demonstrate how, without the spiritual aspect of yoga, the conventional aspect remains and it should not be referred to as yoga
