“…19 Oxygen consumption has also been found to increase with features of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, [20][21][22] type 2 diabetes, [23][24][25][26] and hypertension. [27][28][29] The measurement of oxygen consumption can provide insights into overall homeostatic balance and response to stress, which are mediated through multiple pathways under the control of the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamus. The sympathetic nervous system is involved in rapidly mobilizing vital physiological functions via sympathetic-adrenal-medullary pathways in response to acute stress, [30][31][32] which serves to increase oxygen consumption.…”

Oxygen consumption varies with physical and mental activity as well as pathological conditions. Although there is a strong relationship between yoga and metabolic parameters, the relationship between yoga and oxygen consumption has not yet been formally reviewed. This systematic review attempted to include all studies of yoga that also measured oxygen consumption or metabolic rate as an outcome. A total of 58 studies were located involving between 1 and 104 subjects (average 21). The studies were generally of poor methodological quality and demonstrated great heterogeneity with different experimental designs, yoga practices, time periods, and small sample sizes. Studies report yoga practices to have profound metabolic effects producing both increase and decrease in oxygen consumption, ranging from 383% increase with cobra pose to 40% decrease with meditation. Compared to nonpractitioners, basal oxygen consumption is reported to be up to 15% less in regular yoga practitioners, and regular yoga practice is reported to have a training effect with oxygen consumption during submaximal exercise decreasing by 36% after 3 months. Yoga breathing practices emphasize breathing patterns and retention ratios as well as unilateral nostril breathing, and these factors appear critical in influencing oxygen consumption. A number of studies report extraordinary volitional control over metabolism in advanced yoga practitioners who appear to be able to survive extended periods in airtight pits and to exceed the limits of normal human endurance. More rigorous research with standardized practices is required to determine the mechanisms of yoga’s metabolic effects and the relevance of yoga practices in different clinical populations.

“…It is possible that the change in thyroid activity, as indicated by the changes in basal metabolic rate, affects cholesterol metabolism and thereby may play a role in the devolpment of arteriosclerosis. 15 Further study in the interrelationship of thyroid activity, arteriosclerosis and cholesterol metabolism is needed. At the present the data are too confusing to warrant final interpretation.…”
