Abstract:

 Background: 
Creativity is considered an ability that can be learned which helps improve productivity in both professional life and in daily activities. The Quadrato Motor Training is a new Mind-Body based intervention that has been shown to improve creativity. 

Aim and Objectives:
The aim of the present study is to compare the changes in creativity among young adults after receiving one month of Quadrato Motor Training [QMT].

Methods: 
The study design is open Randomised control study and data were collected from a total of 40 young adults aged 18 -30 years. The Quadrato Motor Training -QMT was performed by the subjects continuously for 28 days. The measures of Creativity like Ideational Flexibility and Ideational Fluency were assessed using Alternative Uses Task before and after the intervention and were compared with the control group.

Results: 
The pre- and post-interventional values of Ideational Flexibility and Ideational Fluency in both groups [QMT and control] were compared. The QMT group showed a significant improvement from pre to post-interventional recordings in both cognitive measures of Ideational Fluency and Ideational Flexibility, with p-value < 0.01, whereas the control group showed no significant improvement in both Ideational flexibility and Ideational Fluency
values.

Conclusion: 
From the data obtained from this study it is evident that one month of Quadrato Motor Training resulted in a significant improvement in one specific domain of creativity, that is Divergent Thinking in young adults.
