Effect Of Selected Yogasana Practices & Aerobic Exercise Among Middle Aged Men

Description

The book involves the experimentation of yogasana practices and aerobic exercise on psychological variables (anxiety, stress, and self-confidence) and physiological variables (resting pulse rate, expiratory reserve volume, vital capacity, tidal volume, and blood pressure) among middle-aged men.
Yoga, introduced by Patanjali is a primeval system of physical exercises, physical postures, breathing practices, and meditation that tend to integrate the body, mind, and spirit of the yoga practitioner. And its principles were first written down in India several thousand years ago.
Aerobic exercises enhance the physical as well as mental stability of an individual by ensuring a good oxygen supply at the cellular level. Systemic blood circulation is carried out by the coordination of the hearts function with that of the lungs. The blood rich in oxygen is carried from the heart to every cell of the body through the arteries. The cells consume this oxygen from the blood and radiate the carbon dioxide to the blood. This deoxygenated blood goes to the heart and is pumped to the lungs for the process of oxygenation. This oxygenated blood is in turn supplied to the heart through the pulmonary veins for the next cycle. This process of supply of sufficient blood to the cells ensures good muscle health and production of ATPs (Adenosine triphosphate).
