Key result
A 4-week yoga program improves resting pulse, blood pressure, and pulmonary function in healthy students.
Why the study?
Competition in the medical field, unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise deteriorate student health, while yoga is thought to enhance physical and mental well-being.
Does a 4-week yoga training program improve cardio-respiratory parameters in healthy medical students?

Does a 4-week yoga training program improve cardio-respiratory parameters in healthy medical students?
p-value: p=<0.0001
A 4-week yoga program significantly improves resting heart rate, blood pressure, and pulmonary function in healthy medical students.
Supports brief yoga for wellness in healthy students; confirms cardio-respiratory benefits in young adults.
The competition in medical field, unhealthy food and lack of exercise deteriorate the health of student. Yoga is the ancient technique to increase the concentration power, physical and mental well-being. We have done randomized control study on medical students between study and control group. The study group has practice yoga for 4 weeks whereas the control group hasn’t. In the study group there is significantly improvement in cardio-respiratory parameters (p<0.0001).This study showed that regular yoga practice in medical students can decrease their stress and improve cardiac and respiratory function.

Ashok Solanki (2020) conducted an RCT in Healthy medical students (n=300). Yoga training program vs. No yoga training was evaluated on Cardio-respiratory parameters (p=<0.0001). A 4-week yoga training program significantly improved cardio-respiratory parameters, including resting pulse rate, blood pressure, and pulmonary function, in healthy medical students (p<0.0001).
