Shashikala L, Anand K S S.


Abstract
Background: Regular exercise and practice of yoga and meditation are known to have beneficial effects on different organ systems including cardiovascular system as well.

Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study has been attempted to compare cardiovascular state at rest.

Materials and Methods: Comparing resting pulse rate and physical fitness index (PFI) in sedentary and yoga trained individual within the same age group. PFI was recorded using Harvard step test.

Results: There was significant decrease in recovery pulse rate in test group which resulted in increased PFI.

Conclusion: Increase in the baroreflex sensitivity and decrease sympathetic tone after regular practice of yoga and meditation.

Key words: Physical Fitness Index; Recovery Pulse Rate; Yoga; Meditation
