Abstract
Introduction: Lately, yoga caught a huge interest among different research fields (1). Though one of discussion topics is yoga practice effects on blood pressure (BP; 2). No consensus exist how yoga effects cardiovascular system, as different conclusions are proposed (3). Specifically, there is a lack of studies on how yoga practice affects women with special focus on those with elevated BP. Research aim: to determine the blood pressure changes after six-month yoga intervention for women with normal and elevated blood pressure. Research methods and organization. Sixty-three participants were chosen for this study. Participants were recruited from yoga studios from one town. Participants were divided in two groups according to newest BP guidelines (4): normal BP, when systolic BP <120 mmHg and diastolic BP <80 mmHg (n=49; age 36.98 ± 10.02 years; BMI 21.53 ± 2.69 kg/m2; Systolic BP 109.12 ± 7.54 mmHg; Diastolic BP 67.08 ± 7.21 mmHg); elevated BP, when systolic BP ≥120 mmHg and diastolic BP ≥80 mmHg (n=14; age 39.93 ± 10.83 years; BMI 23.37 ± 4.17 kg/m2; Systolic BP 128.07 ± 7.91 mmHg; Diastolic BP 81.29 ± 5.55 mmHg). No difference was observed in age and BMI among groups (Age – U=281.000, Z=-1.026, p=0.305; BMI - U=241.000, Z=-1.686, p=0.092). Measures (Systolic, diastolic and pulse pressures) were collected at baseline and 6 months after participation in yoga classes. BP was measured with automatic Omron m3 comfort BP monitoring device (Omron Inc., Japan). Research was executed during 6 months period (5), participants attended yoga classes 2 times a week. After resting BP was measured while sitting, participants were instructed to relax in a supine position for 10 minutes. First 5 minutes were a relaxation and preparation for upcoming breathing exercise uyyaji which was also performed for 5 minutes (6). BP was measured at 5th minute during relaxation and at the 10th minute during breathing exerci[...].
