Abstract
Background:
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2MAX) Forced Vital Capacity(FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume(FEV1) and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation(MVV) are important indicators of Pulmonary functions that show physical health and physical activity of individuals. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of yoga and aerobic trainings on Pulmonary functions parameters in untrained women.Results:
The results showed significant increases in Pulmonary indexes (FVC, FEV1and MVV) and VO2MAX in both yoga and aerobic groups compared to control group(p<0.05).Conclusion:
Overall the results showed that there is no significant differences between eight week yoga and aerobic exercise in indicators of Pulmonary function and VO2MAX..Full Text
