Description
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of yogic practice on cardiovascular system in
apparently healthy volunteers at tertiary health care center.
Methods: This was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of physiology during the six-month
period. 100 apparently healthy individuals were selected out of these with written and explained consent 50
individuals were instructed and trained in the yogic practices (Yogic group n=50) and rest 50 individuals were
control (Non yogic group n=50).
Results: The age was comparable 35.55 ± 4.36 and 36.18± 5.35 (p>0.05). There was male predominance. The
Pulse rate (beats/min) was significantly lower. Systolic B.P. (mm Hg) significantly lower and Diastolic B.P. (mm
Hg) was significantly in Yogic as compared to non-yogic apparently healthy individuals.
Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the yogic individual were having significantly lesser Pulse
rate, Systolic and diastolic BP as compared to non-yogic individuals hence Yoga should be practiced for
prevention of hypertension and its complications.
