Examining the Benefits of Yoga Training Accompanied by Instrumental Balinese Flute Music, Nila Wahyuni Wins Doctoral Degree

 

Located in the Postgraduate Meeting Room Lt III, Denpasar Postgraduate Building, a Doctoral Promotion examination was held with promovenda candidate dr. Nila Wahyuni, M.Fis, with the dissertation title "Yoga Training Accompanied by Instrumental Balinese Flute Music Can Improve Balancing Function, Coordination, CREB m-RNA Expression and NGF Levels in a Middle Age Female Population in Denpasar". (8/3/2023)

 

Balance and coordination are important factors that play a role in fall prevention. Early prevention is needed to optimally suppress falls and various negative impacts caused by falls. Middle-aged women are the right population group to implement fall prevention interventions. Improvement of various bodily functions in humans is carried out by measuring various neuroplasticity biomarkers that can predict and monitor the effectiveness of various interventions and therapies. Plasticity in brain areas that function in motor control and cognitive function plays a role in improving balance and coordination functions. Yoga training and listening to instrumental Balinese flute music can increase CREB expression and NGF levels through increasing various signaling pathways. Increased CREB m-RNA expression and NGF levels illustrate the neuroplasticity of the motor control center so that increased CREB m-RNA expression and NGF levels can improve motor control function which underlies the improvement of balance and coordination functions.

 

Analysis test results

showed that there were no significant differences in the static and dynamic balance variables between the Yoga Group and the Yoga Training Group Accompanied by Instrumental Balinese Flute Music. There were significant differences in the coordination variables, NGF levels and CREB m-RNA expression between the two groups.

 

The novelty of this study is Yoga Training Accompanied by Instrumental Balinese Flute Music, which is an innovative intervention that combines Balinese music with Yoga Training. This research is a novelty in the intervention to reduce the risk of falling in the middle age group of women with the basis of the underlying biomolecular theory.

 

The implication of the results of this study is that the results of this study contribute to building new theoretical concepts regarding biomolecular mechanisms that underlie the effects of yoga training accompanied by music on balance and coordination functions through neuroplasticity, namely the activation of various receptors and signaling pathways, namely dopamine receptors D1, 5HT1A, GABAB, ERK/ CREB pathway, activation of adenylate cyclase, NMDA receptors, PKA, and HPA axis modulation. Improved balance and coordination function involves CREB m-RNA expression and NGF levels which play a role in the integration of the dopaminergic and limbic systems of the motor control system and posture regulation.
