The Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) Kansas City University (KCU) Research Consortium (MKRC) presents an interdisciplinary research study. This study seeks to determine the extent to which clinical yoga improves stress levels, both perceived and measured, in MSSU student athletes. Health outcomes related to the stress response were measured via the biomarker cortisol as measured using ELISA and saliva as a biosample. Student doctors collect study participant vital sign measures including heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, height, and weight. These vital signs are indirect measures that reflect the stress response. Perceived stress was measured using self report questionnaires and scales that seek to quantify aspects of psychosocial and mental health parameters. Social Work students administer these surveys to participants. This study also sought to strengthen the interface with an important community partner in Joplin through interaction with faculty in the Social Work Department and their senior level students who were paired with our student doctors at KCU as a team for this study. The desired outcome of this study will likely inform the extent to which the practice of clinical yoga improves the well being of student athletes at this university, and in general, folks in the community.
