Background: Practice of pranayama has been recognized to control cardiac autonomic status with an improvement in cardio-respiratory functions. Objective: To determine impact of Nadi-shodana pranayama practice for 20 minutes on heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, peak expiratory flow rate. Methods: Ninety normal healthy subjects aged between 17-20 years of first year MBBS course volunteered for this study out of total 150. Among them 40 were females and 50 were males. They did not have any previous training in Pranayama. All the selected physiological parameters were measured before and after performing ‘Nadi-shodhana Pranayama’. Epi-info 7 was used for analysis. Results: Following nadi-shodhana pranayama a significant decline in basal heart rate and systolic blood pressure was observed. Peak expiratory flow rate was significantly improved (P<0.01). No significant changes in respiratory and other cardiovascular parameters were seen. Conclusion: Nadi-shodhana Pranayama swiftly alters cardiopulmonary response. Further studies on a larger sample size need to illustrate the underlying mechanisms involved in this alteration. Keywords: Nadi-shodhana pranayama, heart rate, blood pressure, peak expiratory flow rate.

Latar Belakang: Kurangnya aktivitas fisik merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya mortalitas, sehingga sangat penting untuk melakukan aktivitas fisik secara rutin. Zumba  adalah salah satu metode aktivitas fisik yang banyak diminati dan memiliki manfaat terutama untuk kesehatan kardiorespirasi. Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh latihan Zumba terhadap Resting Heart Rate (RHR) dan Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) sebagai indikator kesehatan sistem kardiorespirasi. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental menggunakan pre-test and post-test control group design. Terdapat 26 subjek penelitian yang dibagi ke dalam 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol. Latihan Zumba dilakukan selama 60 menit dengan frekuensi 2 kali seminggu selama 8 minggu secara virtual. Pengukuran RHR dilakukan secara mandiri oleh subjek penelitian pada pagi hari saat bangun tidur dan pengukuran PEFR dilakukan dengan menggunakan peak flow meter. Hasil: Setelah dilakukan latihan Zumba selama 8 minggu didapatkan penurunan RHR pada kelompok perlakuan dari 71 ± 9 denyut/menit menjadi 70 ± 8 denyut/menit namun tidak signifikan (p>0,05). Pada kelompok perlakuan juga mengalami peningkatan PEFR yang signifikan dari 364 ± 36 liter/menit menjadi 397 ± 42 liter/menit (p<0,05). Namun, hasil RHR dan PEFR kelompok perlakuan tidak berbeda bermakna dengan kelompok kontrol. Simpulan: Latihan Zumba dapat meningkatkan PEFR dan menurunkan RHR. Namun, peningkatan PEFR dan penurunan RHR ini tidak berbeda signifikan dengan kelompok yang tidak mendapatkan latihan Zumba. Hal ini bisa disebabkan karena faktor ketepatan gerak yang dilakukan masih kurang karena tidak adanya supervisi gerakan yang dilakukan subjek penelitian oleh instruktur Zumba. Kata Kunci : peak expiratory flow rate ; resting heart rate ; zumba

Obesity has become one of the major health issues in India. WHO defines obesity as “A condition with excessive fat accumulation in the body to the extent that the health and wellbeing are adversely affected”. Obesity results from a complex interaction of genetic, behavioral, environmental and socioeconomic factors causing an imbalance in energy production and expenditure. Peak expiratory flow rate is the maximum rate of airflow that can be generated during forced expiratory manoeuvre starting from total lung capacity. The simplicity of the method is its main advantage. It is measured by using a standard Wright Peak Flow Meter or mini Wright Meter. The aim of the study is to see the effect of body mass index on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate values in young adults. The place of a study was done tertiary health care centre, in India for the period of 6 months. Study was performed on 80 subjects age group 20 -30 years, categorised as normal weight BMI =18.5 -24.99 kg/m2 and overweight BMI =25-29.99 kg/m2. There were 40 normal weight BMI (Group A) and 40 over weight BMI (Group B). BMI affects PEFR. Increase in BMI decreases PEFR. Early identification of risk individuals prior to the onset of disease is imperative in our developing country. Keywords: BMI, PEFR.

Actuality of Research. Scientific works proved that the greater the volume of the lungs, the better the physical abilities of athletes. So researching of the functional state of organism, namely the level of lung capacity of volleyball players is very important. The aim of the Researching. Determining of the level of lung capacity, forced air volume in 1 second and peak expiratory flow rate in volleyball qualifications. Results. The average rate of lung capacity of volleyball players is – 3,98 l, Forced air volume in 1 second – 3,32 liters, peak expiratory flow rate 5,77 – l/sec. Conclusions. The results of researching indicate that the level of vital capacity in girls is rather higher. So volleyball players (girls) have a high level of fitness of the body, providing adaptation to hight loads and hight endurance.
