| contents | Effects of yoga (pranayama) on lung function and lactate kinetics in sedentary adults at intermediate altitude William Fernando Benavides-Pinzón José Luis Torres Medicina Yoga Altitude Spirometry Lactic Acid Sedentary Lifestyle (MeSH) Introduction: Clinical evidence-based medicine has found increasing benefits of yoga.Objective: To describe the effects on lung function assessed by rest spirometry -vital forced capacity (VFC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and FEV1/VFC ratio- in a group of apparently healthy adults, as well as to explore the effects of pranayama techniques in lactate kinetics.Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental study performed in sedentary adults with no prior experience in yoga practice, who received a stimulus during 12 weeks with a minimum frequency of two sessions per week. They were divided into a yoga group (YG) and a control group (CG). Body composition, blood pressure, heart rate, double product (DP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), blood lactate (Lacts), hematocrit (Htc) by micromethod, and spirometry were determined before and after a training plan with Pranayama. The variables analyzed were forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and FEV1/ FVC ratio.Results: Significant differences were found in FVC, FEV1 and lactate among YG and CG (p<0.05), and before and after the stimulus in the YG (p<0.05). The double product improved in both groups.Conclusions: Targeted practice ofpranayama for 12 weeks improved FVC, FEV1, double product (p <0.05) and lactate production capacity (anaerobic capacity). 2017 artículo científico 2357-3848 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576364413014 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413014/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413014/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413014/576364413014.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364413014/movil 10.15446/revfacmed.v65n3.56310 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5763 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de la Facultad de Medicina (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.65 |
