Regular yoga practices produce a better improvement in the health of individuals with and without ailments. Hence this study was taken to find the effect of regular form of long term yoga training on reaction time in young adults. Aim: To evaluate the long term effects of Yoga practice Visual and Auditory Reaction time in young adults Materials __ampersandsignamp; Methods: This Pilot study includes 80 normal subjects in the age group 18-30 years consist of yoga group (n- 40) subjects were regularly practising yoga and the control group (n-40) subjects were normal healthy volunteers. Auditory (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT) was recorded in the darkroom preferably in the morning with an empty stomach. Result: Subjects in the yoga group (192.56 __ampersandsignplusmn; 18.70 and 224.59__ampersandsignplusmn;32.66 msec) showed significant (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05) shortening of response in ART and VRT compared with the control group (214.74__ampersandsignplusmn;22.98 and 246.03 __ampersandsignplusmn;39.46 msec). Based on the experience in yoga practice, subjects that were practised more than 3 yrs showed significant (P__ampersandsignlt;0.05) shortening in both ART and VRT compared to 1-2 yrs and __ampersandsignlt; 1 yr practised yoga subjects. Conclusion: Shortening of ART and VRT in the yoga group indicates that improved sensory-motor performance and enhanced processing ability of the central nervous system in the yoga practitioners. So simple form of regular yoga training can be implemented in schools, colleges and work to improve attention and reduce stress-induced lifestyle disorders.&#13;
