Abstract

Utilizing standard scientific research methodologies in physical education, this study identified ten yoga exercises designed to improve motor coordination among physical education students at Hanoi Pedagogical University 2. In addition, three evaluative tests were implemented to assess the effectiveness of these yoga interventions. The application of these exercises demonstrated a significant enhancement in flexibility and motor coordination, particularly among female students. Consequently, the findings corroborate that yoga not only cultivates flexibility but also establishes a robust foundation for sustainable health, thereby contributing critically to the pedagogy of Aerobic instruction within the institution.
