CEBU, Philippines - The effects of physical exercise, specifically the Superbrain yoga, in enhancing memory was already studied and tested by students of the University of the Visayas College of Nursing.

It was in 2010 when selected Level III Nursing students, headed by Ms. Amee Arong, in a study entitled "Physical exercise: A memory enhancer or just a plain body builder," compared groups of people who exercised to groups of people who did not exercise much.

The researchers used the quasi-experimental research design, with control group wherein the students were given an examination without introducing exercise.

On the other hand, the experimental group, had the same set of questionnaire, but was introduced with exercise.

The exam was to take 15 minutes run, thus physical exercise, specifically Superbrain yoga, was applied to the experimental group in three consecutive days including the examination day.

The data and information needed in the study were gathered through questionnaire with the help of clinical instructors led by Mr. Joel Serad.

It was being proven that those individuals exposed to exercise have enhanced memory compared to those unexposed. The group exposed to exercise had a mean score of 12, which lies on the line of effectiveness and accounts for 75 percent of 15. Meanwhile, the group without exercise had a mean score of nine (9) which signifies ineffectiveness.

Why Superbrain yoga?

Arong's group of 12 students mentioned in the rationale of their study that "Superbrain yoga is based on the principles of subtle energy and earlobe pressure points to optimize brain wellness."

Superbrain yoga is designed to energize and recharge the brain as it combines movement and breathing with specific hand placements and leg movement to move the energy within the body system, thus activating, cleaning, and increasing the brain functioning for academic and personal growth.
