Download or read book Effect of Hatha Yoga on Selected Parameters of Cardiac Fitness in African American College Students written by William Phillip Tonkins (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This randomized study examined the effect of Hatha yoga on parameters of cardiac fitness in African American college students compared with a control group. Yoga has been a successful complementary and alternative medicine intervention in the treatment of health disorders such as, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, diabetes, and heart disease. A sample of 28 African-American college students was recruited to participate in a 2-month Hatha yoga intervention. A time-series case-control randomized study design with a pre- and post-test was used. Baseline heart rates, blood pressure, heart rate variability (HRV) variables, and oxygen consumption (VO2 max) were measured. All participants completed a 1-mile run pre-test to measure VO2 max. Ambulatory Holter monitor was used to measure HRV variables. Participants completed a questionnaire describing their exercise training history. Half of the participants completed a 2-month training period of Hatha yoga . Both groups were measured again during week 4 and at the completion of the training period (week 8). The effect of Hatha yoga on parameters of cardiac fitness in African American college students was examined statistically using Student's t-distribution, Fisher's F-distribution, and linear regression. The 2-month Hatha yoga intervention was significantly correlated with a decrease in mile run time and heart rate variability; an increase in oxygen consumption and diastolic blood pressure. Therefore, for this population of African American college students, it can be concluded that a 2-month yoga intervention improved diastolic blood pressure, oxygen consumption, mile run time, and components of heart rate variability. As research, such as this study, document the benefits and changes associated with the practice of yoga, it should be made available to all individuals. Yoga should be made available to those economically disadvantage, underserved populations that are unable to afford memberships to the luxury spas and gyms.-- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REVERSE DIABETES DISEASE WITH SIMPLE YOGA POSES Yoga instructors need to work closely with diabetic students in order to maximize the health advantages from yoga. Recent findings reveal the many positive effects that yoga has on diabetes. Yoga cannot "cure" diabetes, but there are several ways yoga can be beneficial in controlling diabetes. If medically prescribed regimens are followed by diabetic students, they can safely add yoga to their treatment. Due to the potential impact on their glucose levels, and overall body function, great strides can be made through regular committed yoga practice. The benefits of yoga on circulation are tremendous. This is one of the reasons yoga is so healthy for people suffering from a variety of ailments. Circulatory problems, in diabetics, are the primary cause of many devastating side effects. Yoga's focus on breathing, stretching and rotational movements, by nature, improves circulation. Yoga also helps maintain the elasticity of blood vessels. This further assists in good circulation. In turn, increased oxygen is supplied to internal organs and the important glands of the endocrine system. When the blood vessels remain elastic, this means better heart health and decreased risk of stroke. Back bends are especially good for the cardiovascular system. Yoga teachers should encourage diabetic students to incorporate back bends into their postures. If a student has mobility problems, because of age or obesity, consider assisted back bends with props to support his, or her, body, neck, and head. Digestion is improved through movements and breath control of yoga (pranayama). Pancreas and liver operation is also enhanced. The rotations of certain postures also massage the glands of the endocrine system, encouraging hormone production. Being Diabetics not just a day thing it has been a process of too many accumulation of sugary food and too much of carbohydrate. This book is not a diet book but a book that will help you reduce blood sugar from the body using simple yoga poses. This book comprises everything you need to know about yoga to prevent diabetes PURCHASE A COPY TODAY
