Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Present study was conducted to observe effect of short duration pranayama on audio-visual reaction time. One sixty healthy 1st year M.B.B.S. students were participated in the study. Readings of height (meter), weight (kg.), auditory and visual reaction time taken just before starting and immediately after pranayama training. Pranayama training was given daily for 45 minutes duration 6 days/week for 12 weeks. Analysis was done by applying paired students t-test. After Pranayama training there was statistically significant decline in auditory and visual reaction time. Thus pranayama practice done for short duration also can improve concentration power and sensory motor performance.
