OXYGEN CONSUMPTION AND VENTILATORY CHANGES DURING SAVITRI PRANAYAMA AND SHAVASAN

U. C. RAI, MADAN MOHAN, N. SUBRAMANIAN, SWAMI GITANANDA.




Abstract

Oxygen consumption and ventilatory changes during savitri pranayam and shavasan were studied in nine yoga.trained volunteers. Both techniques produced an immediate and appreciable decrease in oxygen consumption and minute ventilation. Ventilatory equivalent for oxygen did not change significantly. This shows that subjects trained in yoga can achieve a hypometabolic state by the practice of savitri pranayam and shavasan.

Key words: OXYGEN CONSUMPTION, VENTILATORY CHANGES, SAVITRI PRANAYAMA, SHAVASAN
