Abstract

The method use in this study was quantitative, descriptive, nonequivalent control group of quasi-experimental design. This study involved 64 respondents from selected universities in Manado using purposive sampling technique. Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) was fully adapted and was used as a research tool during data gathering. Data was analyzed through percentage, Mann-Whitney test and standard deviation. The study concluded that, 1) most of the respondents are smokers and non-alcoholic drinkers; 2) the overall level of fatigue before restorative yoga between those who are exposed and not exposed to intervention is severe. The level of fatigue on control group after intervention is moderate on day 1, 2, and 4; however, it is mild on day 3, 5 and 6. Meanwhile, the level of fatigue on treatment group after restorative yoga on day 1 to day 6 is mild; 3) both treatment and control groups' fatigue level decreased after the intervention, but the respondents in the treatment group have milder fatigue level after restorative yoga compared to the control group. It means that restorative yoga is more effective in reducing fatigue among varsity players compared to passive rest at the same given time.
