EFFECT OF PRANAYAMA AND AEROBIC TRAINING INDUCED ADAPTATION ON RESTING HEART RATE OF SEDENTARY YOUNG WOMEN

This research investigates the comparative effects of Pranayama practices and Aerobic Training on Resting Heart Rate among sedentary young women, an important indicator of cardiovascular health and physical fitness. The study demonstrates that both interventions significantly reduced resting heart rate after 12 weeks of training, highlighting their effectiveness in improving physiological efficiency and overall well-being.

The findings provide valuable evidence for physical education professionals, fitness trainers, yoga practitioners, health researchers, and students seeking scientifically validated methods to enhance cardiovascular health. The paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge on non-pharmacological interventions for improving fitness and promoting healthy lifestyles among young women.

Key Takeaways:
• Significant reduction in resting heart rate through Pranayama and Aerobic Training.
• Evidence-based approach for improving cardiovascular fitness.
• Practical implications for Physical Education, Sports Science, Yoga, and Health Promotion.
• Useful for researchers exploring exercise physiology and wellness interventions.

This study bridges traditional yogic practices and modern exercise science, offering meaningful insights for both academic research and practical fitness applications.
