Abstract
Background: Respiratory Muscle Stretch Gymnastics (RMSG) and yoga can improve the respiratory function and decrease stress. No previous studies have examined the effect of yoga training combined with RMSG on stress reduction and exercise capacity.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of combining yoga with RMSG training on pulmonary stress functions and improving aerobic capacity after 8 weeks of training.
Methods: Fifty-eight females aged 18-25 years were included in the study and randomized into four groups as control, RMSG, yoga, and yoga with RMSG groups. Stress was measured using the Suanprung Stress Test (SPST-20). Pulmonary functions (forced expiratory volume at 1st second; FEV1, forced vital capacity; FVC and peak expiratory flow rate; PEFR) and aerobic capacity were measured at baseline, 4th and 8th week for outcome comparison.
Results: The yoga with RMSG group showed significantly decreased stress at the 4th week compared with the yoga, RMSG and control groups.
Conclusion: Yoga combined with RMSG training can decrease stress more efficiently than yoga or RMSG training in isolation.
