Optimal yoga dose for improving cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, and sleep quality in breast cancer survivors: a Bayesian dose-response meta-analysis.

During long-term treatment, breast cancer survivors (BCSs) often experience decreased sleep quality and quality of life and increased fatigue. The interplay between these factors continually worsens the physical and psychological states of BCSs. Although yoga exercise has been shown to improve these adverse outcomes, the exact dose required is unknown. The purpose of our study was to determine the optimal yoga dose for improving cancer-related fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life in BCSs. A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted from the beginning of the database search until March 2024 to identify randomized controlled trials on the effects of yoga exercise on BCS-specific outcomes. Paired and dose-response meta-analyses were performed using Bayesian hierarchical random-effects models to analyze these effects. A total of 2423 breast cancer survivors were included in the 32 studies, with 1252 in the yoga intervention group and 1171 in the control group. Yoga intervention improved fatigue (standard mean difference [SMD]: - 0.55; 95% CrI, - 0.64 to - 0.45. Standard deviation [SD]: 0.32; 95% CrI, 0.23 to 0.45. RSRF ≤ 1.01), sleep quality (SMD: - 0.29; 95% CrI, - 0.43 to - 0.15. SD: 0.56; 95% CrI, 0.35 to 0.88. RSRF ≤ 1.01), and quality of life (SMD: 0.42; 95% CrI, 0.30 to - 0.53. SD: 0.32; 95% CrI, 0.23 to 0.45. RSRF ≤ 1.01) in BCS. It has a nonlinear dose-response relationship, a U-shaped dose-response relationship with fatigue and quality of life, and a positively correlated dose-response relationship with sleep quality. The optimal exercise dose for improving both fatigue and quality of life was 510 METs-min/week, and sleep quality significantly improved when the dose exceeded 160 METs-min/week. Yoga was less effective for fatigue during treatment compared to post-treatment, while its effects on quality of life and sleep quality remained relatively stable throughout both periods. Furthermore, with increasing age, the benefits of yoga interventions for improving fatigue and sleep quality in BCS decrease, while the benefits for improving quality of life increase. This meta-analysis provided critical information on the optimal weekly dose of yoga exercise (220min/week) to improve fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with BCSs. Practitioners should consider the therapeutic stage and age of BCSs when developing yoga strategies to maximize the benefits. For BCS, personalized yoga interventions tailored to treatment stages and age, coupled with regular effectivenessassessments, can significantly enhance recovery and improve quality of life.

The Effect Of Yoga Exercise On Anxiety In Third Semester Primigravida Pregnant Women

Primigravida mothers are mothers who are experiencing pregnancy for the first time. Primigravida mothers are usually not ready to face pregnancy because it is something new to experience. The unpreparedness of primigravida mothers occurs both physically and psychologically. Anxiety is a feeling of discomfort manifested by restlessness, worry or fear. This is a manifestation of psychological and physiological factors. The third trimester is a time of alertness where at this time, pregnant women understand that their child can be born at any time. Mothers also feel impatient with the birth of the baby which makes mothers alert and vigilant. Anxiety during pregnancy can trigger changes in physical activity, sleep and nutrition. This can have an impact on fetal development and changes in the mother's mood. Yoga is a complementary therapy that can be an option to overcome anxiety in pregnant women, especially primigravida mothers in the third trimester. The design of this study was One Group Pretest and Posttest with the population being all primigravida pregnant women in the third trimester who checked their pregnancy at the Matahari Clinic. This study was tested on 17 samples taken using a purposive sampling technique.

The Effects of Yoga Exercise on Blood Pressure and Hand Grip Strength in Chronic Stroke Patients: A Pilot Controlled Study.

We investigated the beneficial effect of add-on yoga with rehabilitation on blood pressure (BP) and hand grip strength in patients with chronic stroke (more than 90 days). The study included patients 30-80 years of age who could stand independently for 1 min. Patients with psychiatric diseases or undergoing other therapies (like acupuncture) were excluded. The yoga group received training (1 h session twice weekly) with standard rehabilitation for 8 weeks. The control group received standard rehabilitation only. There were no differences in age, gender, hand grip strength, or BP between the two groups (16 subjects in each group) at baseline. The systolic BP (p = 0.01) decreased significantly, and the diastolic BP also decreased but not significantly in the yoga group (p = 0.11). For hand grip strength, both the unaffected hand (p = 0.00025) and the affected hand (p = 0.027) improved significantly. The control group showed no significant change in systolic or diastolic BP, nor did the grip strength change in both hands. Gender and age also affected the results of overall rehabilitation in that women benefited more from a decrease in BP, while men and young people (lower than the mean age of 60) benefited from hand grip strength improvement. Combining yoga with rehabilitation in chronic stroke patients can improve hand grip strength and decrease systolic BP.

Can Yoga Boost Access to the Bodily and Emotional Self? Changes in Heart Rate Variability and in Affective Evaluation Before, During and After a Single Session of Yoga Exercise With and Without Instructions of Controlled Breathing and Mindful Body Awareness in Young Healthy Women.

Exercise is indispensable for a healthy lifestyle. Yoga exercise can have positive effects on well-being and on cardiac autonomic activity making it an ideal intervention for improving mind-body interactions and resilience to physical and mental stressors. Emotions trigger especially strong bodily and affective-cognitive responses because of their social relevance for the self and their biological relevance of mobilizing the organism for action. This study investigates whether changes in emotion processing related to self-other referential processing and changes in cardiac autonomic activity, reflected by heart rate variability (HRV), occur immediately after already a single session of yoga exercise when yoga postures are practiced with or without breathing- and mindful body awareness instructions. Women, all university students (N = 34, final sample: n = 30, n = 25 naïve to yoga practice) were randomly assigned to two experimental groups who performed the same yoga exercises with or without controlled breathing and mindfulness instructions. Emotional, self-other referential processing, awareness of bodily signals and HRV indicators were investigated before and after the exercise using standardized experimental tasks, standardized questionnaires, and mobile recording devices. Exercising for 30 minutes changed cardiac activity significantly. HRV measures showed adaptability of cardiac activity during the exercise as well as during the affective task post- to pre-exercise. Exercising with breathing instructions and mindful body awareness had no superior effects on cardiac, particularly parasympathetic activity, compared to practicing the same movements without such explicit instructions. Self-referential processing did not change; however, participants were faster and more accurate in their affective judgments of emotional stimuli [regardless of their reference (self/other)], and showed better awareness of bodily signals after compared to before the exercise session. The results support immediate, adaptive effects of yoga exercise on cardiac and affective-cognitive processing in an all-female healthy sample. Therefore, yoga exercise could be recommended as a physical activity for boosting cardiac and emotional resilience in this target group.

Effect of Yoga Exercise on Cortisol Hormone Levels in Pregnant Women in Kinik Pratama Asih Waluyojati Banguntapan Bantul Yogyakarta

<em>Maternal mortality rates in 2016 rose compared to 2015. The causes of maternal death in 2016 were Severe Preeclampsia (PEB) as much as 33% (4 cases), Bleeding by 17% (2 cases), Heart Failure 17% (2 cases), Sepsis 17% (2 cases) and Other 16% (2 cases). Some studies state that preeclampsia occurs due to the influence of anxiety during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a period of crisis that involves also psychological factors, hormonal changes causing the mother's emotions to become lame. In addition to physical factors, psycho social factors can add anxiety in pregnant women. High stress in pregnancy can increase stress hormones, it can also lead to increased blood pressure and birth weight loss. Prevention can be done by pregnant women to have a healthy condition both the mother and her fetus, as well as through the normal labor process that is by exercising, gymnastics, dancing, and yoga. At this time yoga becomes one of the self help that can support the process of pregnancy, birth. Physiological of yoga performed during pregnancy is reversing the effects of stress involving the parasympathetic part of the central nervous system. The effects of such stress will be inhibited by relaxation, so that the hormones that cause body dysregulation (cortisol) will be reduced in number. The hormone cortisol is an increased hormone in anxiety so by masterminding this hormone can lower the anxiety levels of pregnant women which has an impact on the decreased risk of PEB<strong>. </strong>Look at the effect of Yoga exercise on cortisol hormone levels in pregnant women. This type of quantitative research is True Experimental research method, with Posttest-Only Control Group Design. Respondents who used pregnant women who participated in prenatal yoga, samples taken with the Formula Freeder obtained 16 pregnant women with control as many as 16. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Chi-Square test with a result of p <0.00 which indicates a correlation. There is an effect of yoga on cortisol levels in pregnant women.</em>

Effects of Yoga Exercises on Diabetic Mellitus as Validated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Context and Aims:Effects of practicing yoga in diabetic mellitus (DM) patients have been identified to improve in control of blood glucose levels. The purpose of this work is to evaluate changes in blood flow of calf muscles after specific yoga postures for patients with DM using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Time of flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography maximum intensity projection (MIP), T1 maps, T2 maps, and diffusion-weighted Imaging are performed on volunteers and DM patients both pre- and post-exercise.Materials and Methods:TOF MIP, T1 maps with variable flip angles, and T2-weighted spin-echo imaging were performed on four volunteers (aged 30 ± 5) and DM patients (aged 32–68) preexercise, on a 1.5 T Siemens scanner. The total acquisition time was 6 min 20 s. Each volunteer and DM patient were then requested to perform yoga postures Supta Padangusthasana, Utkatasana, and Calf raise for 6 min 30 s at maximum effort, outside the scanner, and subsequently rescanned. To calculate significant signal increase, region of interests was drawn on TOF MIP coronal images in arteries of calf muscles. Student t-tests were performed to determine statistical significance.Results:Among volunteers, a significant signal increase in arteries of calf muscles was noticed, signal intensity graphs were plotted. In DM patients, signal increase in TOF MIP, T2-weighted images were seen in specific arteries (posterior, anterior tibial, and posterior tibial) of calf muscles postexercise.Discussion and Conclusions:The study indicates that yoga has a positive short-term effect on multiple DM-related foot complications. This study depicts that MRI provides potential insight into the benefits of yoga for DM patients through deriving biomarkers for preventive medicine relevant to yoga interception.

Introduction: Pregnancy is a condition in which women undergo distinct physiological changes and stress. Also accompanied by unique physical and psychological demands, Yoga is thought to alter nervous system regulation and physiological system functioning (e.g. cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine and immune systems). It improves psychological wellbeing (e.g. frequency of positive mood states) and physical fitness (e.g. strength, flexibility). Patients and Methods: 250 primigravida females selected from the antenatal clinic of El-Shatby Maternity University Hospital, and allocated into two groups; group A: 125 females who will practice Yoga exercises and group B: 125 females who will not practice any kind of exercises. Results: Both groups are matched in age, height (p>0.05). Pulse, systolic, diastolic blood pressure and respiratory rate are matched in both groups (p>0.05). Incidence of edema, varicose vein, sleep disturbance, mood changes were significantly higher in group B (p

The effectiveness of yoga exercise toward blood pressure and endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) level in hypertensive diabetic population

Introduction: Diabetes and its complications are the leading causes of premature death worldwide. Diabetes causes complications such as hypertension and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial dysfunction is the primary pathophysiology that underlies complications of diabetes mellitus. EDHF (Endothelial-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor) is a relaxing factor that targets current therapy in vascular dysfunction and insulin resistance in obesity and diabetes mellitus. Yoga training is a physical activity that has been shown to play a role in decrease blood pressure, but to our knowledge, there are no studies that prove the effectiveness of yoga in increasing EDHF levels. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the efficacy of yoga to decrease blood pressure and increase EDHF levels in type II diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension.Methods: This research was a randomized control trial that involved 39 hypertensive diabetic respondents and was conducted in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Yoga exercise was carried out two times a week for eight weeks, with a duration of 60 minutes per session. EDHF levels were examined using the ELISA technique.Results: There was a significant difference in systolic, diastolic and EDHF levels after the intervention between the yoga and control groups and large effect size.Conclusion: In conclusion, yoga training effectively reduced blood pressure and prevented endothelial dysfunction by increasing the blood vessel relaxing factor, namely EDHF.
