Influence of yoga on status of lipid indices in type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects

The Effect of Yoga on Health-Related Fitness among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Having conducted two stages of screening, we included 10 studies in the systematic review ( Figure 1 ). Among the included studies, there were three quasi-experimental studies [ 36 , 37 , 38 ] and seven RCTs [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. One quasi-experimental study assessed muscle strength, balance, and fall-related outcomes [ 37 ], one quasi-experimental study assessed body composition [ 36 ], and another quasi-experimental study assessed body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness [ 38 ].…”

“…One quasi-experimental study assessed muscle strength, balance, and fall-related outcomes [ 37 ], one quasi-experimental study assessed body composition [ 36 ], and another quasi-experimental study assessed body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness [ 38 ]. On the other hand, one RCT assessed cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, balance, and quality of life [ 41 ], another RCT assessed body composition and quality of life [ 44 ], another RCT only assessed cardiorespiratory fitness [ 39 ], and the remaining four only assessed body composition [ 40 , 42 , 43 , 45 ].…”

“…Based on vote counting, the quasi-experimental studies favored yoga intervention compared to the inactive control in improving cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, body composition, balance, and fall-related outcome ( Table 2 ). While one RCT favored yoga intervention in improving muscle strength [ 42 ], the RCTs showed inconsistent effects of yoga intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and quality of life [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. Quasi-experimental studies indicated that yoga provided at least similar benefits compared to other exercise interventions on muscle strength, body composition, balance, and fall-related outcome [ 36 , 37 ].…”

The effects of yoga on cardiovascular risk factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Figure 1 showed the flow diagram of the study. Total 17 studies were included qualitative analysis (systematic review)[ 11 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ] and 15 were considered for quantitative analysis (meta-analysis) as data for mean ± SD was not available for two studies. [ 17 20 ]…”

“…The sensitivity analysis does not affect the results in term of heterogeneity and significance level for these variables. Various reviews[ 31 ] have also discussed the benefit of yoga intervention among patients with T2DM. Many systematic reviews and meta-analysis has also evaluated the benefit of yoga for the patients with T2DM.…”
