EFFECT OF TRANSCENDAL MEDITATION ON RESPIRATORY RATE AND BREATH HOLDING TIME
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Effects of six weeks training followed by six weeks practicing session of TM was studied on respiratory rate and breathe holding time in 37 male and 38 female volunteers. There was significant decrease in respiratory rate and significant increase in breathe holding time in both males and females after TM session. It is therefore concluded that regular practice of TM would increase respiratory efficiency and would be useful in preventing and treating psychosomatic and other respiratory diseases.
