EFFECT OF YOGIC PRACTICES WITH AND WITHOUT DIET MODIFICATIONS ON SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL IN IRREGULAR MENSTURAL COLLEGE WOMEN

The menstrual cycle is the cycle of natural changes that occurs in the uterus and ovary as an essential part of making reproduction possible. Its timing is governed by endogenous (internal) biological cycles. The menstrual cycle is essential for the production of eggs, and for the preparation of the uterus for pregnancy. The cycle occurs only in fertile female humans and other female primates. In human females, the menstrual cycle occurs repeatedly between the age of menarche, when cycling begins, until menopause, when it ends. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of Yogic practices with and without diet modifications on selected Physiological variables in irregular menstrual college women. The selected subjects 45 were randomly divided into three groups equally of which experimental Group – I underwent yogic practices with diet modifications, Group – II underwent yogic practices without diet modifications Group – II acted as Control Group. The subjects selected for this study were in the age group of 18 to 21 years. Each group consisting of fifteen subjects, there experimental group as Group I & II and Control group as Group III. The following physiological variable was selected as dependent variables such as systolic blood pressure, and the following variable was selected as independent variable as yogic practices. The data collected on selected criterion variables were subjected to statistical analysis using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find out any significant difference between the three groups on systolic blood pressure.

The effect of yoga practices on health parameters: A review

Yoga, a practice originating in India thousands of years ago, has gained immense popularity today and its effects are under scrutiny. Numerous studies demonstrate the positive impact of various types of yoga on human physiology. Specifically, research highlights the ability of yoga to mitigate stress and anxiety, as well as increase serotonin and dopamine hormones, facilitating healthy coping mechanisms in modern living. For a healthy lifestyle, yoga can be an important addition to a nutritious diet. While numerous studies have reported on the positive effects of yoga, its complete impact has yet to be fully understood. It may be recommended that the studies planned to be addressed in the future on the subject should be carried out for a specific health problem, should have a methodologically good and high quality structure and the sample size should be kept large. This review found that yoga has significant positive effects on anxiety and depression. It also increases hormones such as serotonin and dopamine in the body, which can lead to a more positive outlook. However, the review found statistically insignificant decreases in fasting blood glucose levels, postprandial blood glucose levels, and HbA1c. Additionally, yoga was found to significantly improve quality of life.

Testing Biological and Psychological Pathways of Emotion Regulation as a Primary Mechanism of Action in Yoga Interventions for Chronic Low Back Pain: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Interventions that promote adaptive emotion regulation (ER) skills reduce pain in patients with chronic pain; however, whether the effects of yoga practice on chronic low back pain (CLBP) are due to improvements in ER remains to be examined. This study will test whether the effects of yoga on CLBP (improved pain severity and interference) are mediated by improved ER, the extent to which effects are related to specific aspects of ER, and the role of pain sensitization as a mediator or moderator of effects. In this study, pain sensitization will be assessed by quantitative sensory testing and gene expression profiles to examine whether pain sensitization moderates yoga's effects on pain or whether yoga and ER abilities reduce pain sensitization, leading to decreased pain severity and interference. For this 2-arm parallel group blinded randomized controlled trial, we will enroll 204 adults with CLBP who will be randomized to receive the yoga (n=102) or a control stretching and strengthening (n=102) intervention, which are delivered via web-based synchronous biweekly 75-minute sessions over 12 weeks. Participants are encouraged to practice postures or exercises for 25 minutes on other days using accessible prerecorded practice videos that are sent to participants digitally. Participants will be assessed at 5 time points: baseline, midintervention (6 weeks), postintervention (12 weeks), and 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Assessments of ER, pain severity and interference, pain sensitivity including somatosensory and gene expression profiles, and physical strength and flexibility will be conducted at each visit. The fidelity of the interventions is assessed using a manualized checklist to evaluate recorded group sessions to ensure consistent instructor delivery. The primary outcome will be the mean change in pain severity as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form at 12 weeks. The primary mechanism of action is ER measured by change in the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale total score. Secondary outcomes include pain sensitivity, physical strength and flexibility, pain interference, and quality of life. A mediation path analysis and series of moderated mediation path analyses will be conducted to test the study hypotheses. As of January 2024, we have enrolled 138 participants. We expect the study to be completed by May 2025. The study will provide important data for evaluating whether improvements in ER are responsible for reduced pain perception and pain sensitivity as well as increased quality of life in the context of chronic pain. The study findings have important implications for determining the mechanism of action for yoga and possibly other mind-body interventions as nonpharmacological therapies for pain management. The results of the study will inform the content, delivery, and measures for intervention trials involving yoga as a modality for relieving pain and improving function.

EFFECT OF YOGIC PRACTICES WITH AND WITHOUT WALKING ON SELECTED PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLE AMONG WOMEN SENIOR CITIZENS

Old Age is a natural part of the life cycle. All living organism including humans undergo the process from conception to infancy, child hood puberty, maturity and senescence. Longer life means more frailty and more disability. Apart from economic problem they face in their life, the common diseases like ortho, visual, audio and mental some face grave diseases of heart, blood etc. The care of old people in a separate branch of medicine called Geriatrics and scientific study of old age and process of growing old is called Gerontology. The definition of ageing varies from society to society and has been modified considerably over time. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of Yogic practices with and without Walking on selected Psychological variable in Women senior citizens. The selected subjects 45 were randomly divided into three groups equally of which experimental Group – I underwent yogic practices with Walking, Group – II underwent yogic practices without Walking Group – II acted as Control Group. The subjects selected for this study were in the age group of above 60 years. Each group consisting of fifteen subjects, there experimental group as Group I & II and Control group as Group III. The following psychological variable was selected as dependent variables such as stress and the stress questionnaire constructed by Dr.Latha Satish (1997) consisting of 52 questions. , and the following variable was selected as independent variable as yogic practices and walking. The data collected on selected criterion variables were subjected to statistical analysis using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find out any significant difference between the three groups on stress.

Effect of Yogic Practices on Psychological Variables in Athletes

The study aimed to explore the influence of yogic practices on psychological variables among college women athletes. The hypothesis posited that eight weeks of yogic practice would significantly impact selected psychological variables in women athletes. For this investigation, 30 randomly selected women athletes from Trichy district, Tamilnadu, India, aged between 18 to 24 years, were chosen as subjects. The research employed a pretest–posttest random group design, incorporating an experimental group (Group ‘A’) and a control group (Group ‘B’), each comprising fifteen participants. Group ‘A’ underwent yogic practice, while Group ‘B’ received no training. Anxiety and aggression were assessed using the Spiel Berger questionnaire and Smith questionnaire, respectively. Data were collected before and after eight weeks of training. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to determine the impact of yogic practices on psychological variables among women athletes, with the significance level set at 0.05. The study’s findings strongly indicate that eight weeks of yogic practice had a significant effect on the selected variables in women athletes, thus supporting the initially hypothesized impact.

The effect of yoga practice on pain intensity, menstruation symptoms and quality of life of nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea.

The researchers aimed to determine the effects of yoga on pain severity, menstrual symptoms and quality of life of undergraduate nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea. The 60 female students were divided into intervention (n = 30) and control groups (n = 30) by block randomization. In the study, data were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale for Pain, the Menstruation Symptom Scale and the Short Form-36 Health Survey Scale. The 12-week intervention program, which included all components of Hatha yoga, was carried out twice a week for a total of 24 sessions of 60 min. The control group did not receive any intervention. The severity of menstrual pain and symptoms decreased in yoga group compared to control group, and there were significant improvements in quality of life (p < 0.001). The researchers shows that regular Hatha yoga may be a possible nonpharmacological treatment for primary dysmenorrhea in young women in this study.

Effects of yogic practices on polypharmacy

The occurrence and concurrency of Noncommunicable chronic diseases increase with age, and therefore, the number of medications used increases correspondingly. Polypharmacy is a scenario in which five medications or more are consumed concurrently (regardless of dose and duration of consumption), which leads to reduced quality of life, physical problems, increased drug interactions, adverse effects, and medical complications and increases the cost of treatment. Moreover, polypharmacy increases the incidence of falls, frequency of hospital admission, length of stay, and the death rate among patients, especially in the elderly population. This would allow therapies like Yoga, pranayama, and meditation to act as an effective mainstay or adjunctive or alternative therapy for many disorders, as it can be cost-effective, patient-compliant, and clinically efficacious with the most negligible side effects. However, very few studies have focused on the impact of yogic practices on reducing drug dosage or polypharmacy among patients. Hence, a Medline English literature search was planned to review all the studies demonstrating a dose-response effect between yogic practices and the number/dosage of medication reduction in different disorders. Data extracted and analyzed depicted that the practice of Yoga, pranayama, and meditation can result not only in reducing the number of medications but also the dosages in hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, arthritis, sleep disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), gastrointestinal disorders like constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

Effect of Yogic Practices on Body Posture and its Correlation with Physical and Mental Health in Adolescents

Abstract Introduction: A state of physical and mental well-being affects posture through energy and balance. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to poor postural habits in children, putting them at risk for adverse health effects. This study attempts to demonstrate that yoga can prevent and correct postural alterations in childhood, the most crucial time for musculoskeletal development. Materials and Methods: This was a two-group pre-post study. A Randomized control trial with two arms was conducted. Based on the selection criteria, 200 students between 10 and 15 years were randomized into yoga and wait-list control (WLC) groups. For 3 months, the yoga group participated in a yoga program, while the WLC group engaged in routine activities. Physiological and psychological health assessments such as body posture (PostureScreen), Harvard step test (HST), physical activity questionnaire for older children (PAQ-C), patient health questionnaire (PHQ), body mass index (BMI), digit span test, emotion regulation questionnaire for children and adolescents (ERQ-CA), adolescent stress questionnaire, academic performance, and Vedic Personality Inventory (VPI) were collected before and after the 3-month study. Results: Five out of eight posture displacement parameters and physiological parameters (HST, PHQ, and BMI) were statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05) in the posttest between-group comparison. There was a significant mean difference between groups for all psychological parameters except VPI-Sattva. Anterior and posterior displacements were significantly correlated to ERQ-CA, VPI-Rajas, and Sattva. Anterior translations and left and right lateral angulations were correlated to BMI, PAQ-C, and PHQ, respectively. Conclusion: The present study concludes that regular yoga practice from an early age can help establish a healthy posture. Body posture is shaped to a certain extent by underlying physical and emotional conditions affecting activities of daily living.

The Effect of Yoga Practice on Cervical Tactile Acuity and Body Awareness.

Body-mind-based holistic methods of relaxation and improved well-being, such as yoga and meditation, improve body awareness and have often been used to enhance quality of life and the ability to cope with pain. We aimed to compare tactile sensory acuity and body awareness in healthy sedentary individuals who practiced yoga regularly and in control participants who had not practiced yoga. Participants were 60 individuals, aged between 18 and 35years who were divided into two groups according to whether they had previously practiced yoga. We used the two-point discrimination (TPD) test to determine participants' tactile acuity, as measured with a digital calliper at the C7, C5, C3, C1 and T1 spinal segments and with the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ). The TPD measurements of individuals who practiced yoga and meditation had a lower discriminatory threshold compared to those who had not practiced yoga (p < .001), and the self-reported BAQ score of yoga practitioners was higher than that of the controls (p < .001). We found a positive correlation between the length of the prior duration of yoga experience and self-reported body awareness (r = .567, p < .001). There was a significant negative correlation (r = -.379, p = .015) between the C5 segment and the TPD measurements, but not for the other cervical spinal segments (p > .05). There was a negative correlation between the length of prior yoga practice and the TPD measurements in all cervical segments (p < .001). The most negative correlation was found at the C7 segment (r = -.844, p < .001) and the least negative correlation was found at the C3 segment (r = -.669, p < .001). These data suggest that yoga and meditation practices may improve well-being and diminish pain by increasing body awareness and tactile sensory acuity in the cervical region.

Effect of yogic practices in the management of fibromyalgia: A review

ABSTRACT Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, stiffness, sleep irregularities, and tenderness of joints and muscles due to dysregulation of neurophysiological functions. It is more common in women compared to men. Till now, there is no specific treatment available for FM. The review aimed to review the literature on the effect of yogic practices on FM. The search was done in the following databases: Google Scholar and PubMed. The articles were searched using the keywords, FM, FM syndrome, Yoga, Pranayama, Yogic practices, and alternative therapy, without date restrictions which yielded 28 results, and eight articles were included in the final review. A review of the included articles showed the significant role of yogic practices in managing symptoms of FM, including stiffness, pain, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and depression. The yogic interventions such as asanas, Surya Namaskar, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, and mindfulness meditation of specific duration were helpful in relieving the symptoms of FM. Yogic practices are helpful in the management of FM symptoms. Future randomized controlled trials contrasting various forms of yoga or exercise, however, will enable the identification of the most efficient treatments for FM and allow for more precise targeting of the patients who will benefit most from them.
