Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of respiratory function by measuring vital capacity and Breath holding. The investigator adopted experimental method of research on 40 middle aged women ranged from 41-45 years. The experimental groups participated in Pranayama training for a period of twelve weeks. Prior to the study, vital capacity and breath holding of all the subjects were taken. Based upon these values, vital capacity and breath holding was calculated before and after the fitness training. Pranayama begins with breathing guidance and completes full control over the streams of life or within the basics. The effects of pranayama on selected physiological variables, dependent‘t’ test was applied at 0.05 level of significance to find out the significance among the mean differences. Participants assigned to Pranayama training revealed a significant improvement in respiratory function (p<0.05).
Keywords: Pranayama, Respiratory Function, Middle Age, Vital Capacity, Breath Holding.
