Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the acute effects of vinyasa yoga on arterial stiffness, wave reflection, and blood markers in normo- and hyper-tensive adults. To address this aim, fifteen normotensive adults and 15 adults with elevated blood pressure or stage 1 hypertension with a minimum of 3 months of yoga practice experience were enrolled. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), augmentation index (AIx), lipid profile, and glucose concentrations were assessed at baseline and immediately following a 1-hour vinyasa yoga session.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Lipid profile [Once before the yoga session]
Blood samples obtained via finger stick and analyzed for total-, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations using reflectance photometry.
Lipid profile [Once immediately after the 1-hour yoga session]
Blood samples obtained via finger stick and analyzed for total-, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations using reflectance photometry.
