| Abstract: | The article comments on the research paper "Effects of Brief Yoga Exercises and Motivational Preparatory Interventions in Distance Runners: Results of a Controlled Trial," B. Donohue, A. Miller, M. Beisecker, D. Houser, R. Valdez, S. Tiller and T. Taymar. It is found in this paper that the intervention groups clearly preferred a pre-race intervention that helped to motivate or prepare them for their effort. The key concern of coaches, addressed by the high perceived satisfaction with either yoga or motivational preparation, is "how do you best prepare an athlete to achieve a peak performance in a given race." |
