“…The results of this study showed that rope mallakhamb training lasting 4 weeks significantly improved a number of respiratory indices. Our findings are supported by those of Chanavirut et al [3] who reported that yoga exercise significantly increased chest circumferences by 15 (middle and lower) to 37% (upper) as well as several respiratory indices -FEV1, FEV25-75% and FVC (by 12 -17%), the resting tidal volume remaining unaltered. No significant changes were noted in the control subjects.…”

“…Women with hyperkyphosis who participated in yoga practices twice a week for 12 weeks significantly improved their capacity to quickly stand up, move faster and reach longer, as well as their physical self-awareness and well being [3]. Yoga has also been shown to decrease pain and sensitivity of hands, to increase finger range of motion and grip strength in several clinical trials with individuals with osteoarthritis [4,5].…”

SummaryStudy aim: To assess the effects of 4-week rope mallakhamb training on respiratory indices in girls. Material and methods: A group of 24 high-school girls aged 12 -16 years, who participated in interschool yoga competitions and in the Catch Them Young (CTY) programme, volunteered to participate in this study. They were randomly assigned into rope mallakhamb (M) and control (C) groups, n = 12 each. The M group was subjected to 4-week training consisting of various asanas (Paschimottanasana, Natrajasana, Nidrasana, Mayurasana and Savasana), the control group participated in the routine yoga mallakhamb training not containing the asanas mentioned. The following respiratory indices were determined using a wet spirometer: tidal volume (Vt), expiratory (ERV) and inspiratory (IRV) reserve volume, vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC) and inspiratory capacity (IC). Results: The 4-week rope mallakhamb training brought about significant (p<0.05 -0.001) improvements (by 5 -13%) in all indices except FVC. None of the indices significantly improved in Group C. Conclusions:The rope mallakhamb training may be recommended to improve strength and endurance of respiratory muscles and may contribute to enhanced voluntary control of breathing.
