Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Suryanamaskar is a part of yogic practices composed of dynamic muscular movements synchronised with deep rhythmic breathing. Surya namaskar is believed to be an all-round exercise of series of twelve physical postures. These alternating backward and forward bending postures flex and stretch the spinal column through their maximum range giving a profound stretch to the whole body. Surya Namaskar has a deep effect in detoxifying the organs through copius oxygenation and has a deeper relaxing effect. The aim of the Present Study was conducted to see the efficacy of regular Practice of Suryanamaskar in Improving The Cardio-Respiratory Fitness reaction time among final year medical year students. The present study was conducted on 50 subjects, (30 males and 20 females). The surya namaskar session was conducted for 6 days weekly for 3 months. Cardio respiratory Parameters and reaction time has been assessed. It was observed that 3 months of regular suryanamaskar practice decreases resting pulse rate and blood pressure. It increases Vital capacity (ml), MVV (L/min), FEV1 (sec) and Respiratory muscle endurance. At the same time it increases cardio-respiratory efficiency and respiratory capacity and various lung functions tests, among the subjects. And immediately it decreases both Auditory reaction time (ART) and visual reaction time (VRT) of (P<0.001) which is statistically significant. Keywords: Surya Namaskar, Cardio-respiratory efficiency, visual reaction time (VRT), auditory reaction time (ART).
