Physiological Effects of Yoga in Healthy Women: A Novel Perspective

These are the results from our research on ECG RR and JT intervals variation in yoga poses and between them in young healthy women.We had 22 participants (women) in this study. We used ECG recording device to monitor their cardiovascular response while doing different yoga poses. Women were instructed to do 10 minutes relaxation in Savasana following warm up doing Surya Namaskar, and after that - doing 12 different yoga poses with rest pauses between them. Savasana and each yoga pose were analyzed in the means of RR and JT intervals and these results are in data we provided. We exported ECG data from the recorder via Kaunas Kruvis program. This research was approved by Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Biomedical Research Ethics Commitee (2013-10-11, No. BEC-SRFP (M) - 25).
