Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for various reasons, such as increasing growth and development, preventing ageing, strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, increasing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and also enjoyment. There are various types of exercises such as aerobic, anaerobic, yoga, etc. Our study aims to compare yoga and other form of exercise and its effects on stress-related diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study was a cross-sectional, retrospective, questionnaire-based study. 134 subjects belonged to yoga group [group Y] and 82 were in the other form of exercise group [group E]. Incidence of stress-related diseases such as Hypertension [HT], Ischaemic heart disease[IHD], Diabetes mellitus [DM], Asthma, Chronic back pain [CBP], Osteoarthritis, and Headache were found out in the two groups. RESULTS In yoga group, hypertensives were higher than in other exercise group. But, the subjects of IHD, DM, Asthma, chronic back pain, osteoarthritis and headache were higher in other exercise group when compared to yoga group. This difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION In our study, beneficial effects of yoga and other form of exercises are comparable with yoga group showing slight superior result.
