Abstract
The present study was undertaken to assess the effects of pranayama on pulmonary functions. Sixty healthy young female subjects (age group 18-28 years) were selected. They have to do the selected pranayama practices daily for about half an hour. The observations were recorded by MEDSPIROR, in the form of FVC, FEV-1 and PEFR on day-1, after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of their pranayama practice. There was a significant increase in FVC, FEV-1 and PEFR at the end of 8 weeks.
