Physiological profile of yoga practitioners in various fitness centers of Delhi

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to check physiological profile of various yoga practitioner physiological variables such as Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), vital capacity, and peak flow, resting heart rate, resting respiratory rate and blood glucose. 20 male yoga practitioners, aged 22 to 35 were selected as subjects on the basis of random sampling from various fitness centers of Delhi. Peak flow rate, blood pressure(systolic and diastolic) & resting heart rate, resting respiratory rate, vital capacity and blood glucose were measured by peak flow meter, electronic blood pressure monitor, and stop watch To analyze the physiological variables of yoga practitioners descriptive analysis was employed and found mean value (458.88±49.60) on peak flow. Mean of male yoga Practitioners (126.33±5.09) on systolic blood pressure. Mean of male yoga Practitioners (80.88±5.81) on diastolic blood pressure. Mean of male yoga Practitioners (65.88±2.14) on resting heart rate. Mean of male yoga Practitioners (8.55±0.72) on resting respiratory rate. Mean of male yoga Practitioners (4.85±0.19) on vital capacity.
