Abstract
Objectives: Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. There are no words to emphasize the role of primary prevention in pathogenesis of CVDs. The role of exercise in reducing the incidence or decreasing the severity of CVDs is undeniable. The sole purpose of this study is to explore and compare the changes in physiology in individuals performing yoga, with aid of certain parameters (BMI, Pulse Rate, Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure, HDL, Cholesterol, triglyceride) and who knows that with an extensive study we might discover yoga as a potential key that can alter the Natural Course of the CVDs. Methodology: A Cross- Sectional study with 100 individuals; 50 in each group i.e. performing yoga regularly for more than 6 months and started performing yoga for less than 6 months or irregularly from the day of enrollment. The individuals were enrolled till the sample of 50 was achieved in each group. Results: Subjects in group performing yoga regularly >6 months showed lower pulse rate i.e. mean 79.44 ± 8.36 and higher HDL i.e. mean 43.58 ± 8.83, also it has p value < 0.05. BMI, fasting blood sugar and diastolic blood pressure were also better in yoga group >6 months as though the difference was not statistically significant. There was no clear evidence of a difference between groups for cholesterol, triglyceride and systolic blood pressure with p value is also >0.05. Conclusion: The study certainly showed that there is difference in the parameters between the two groups, which signifies that Yoga definitely alters the Human physiology. Our study encourages that there should be an extensive study to determine the direct physiological changes and correlate the role of yoga in prevention of CVDs.
