“…Breast cancer patients showed improved HRV values at end of a 12-month long (3 times/week, 40-60 min/session) yoga training. These results were also significantly better than those of a Pilates control group (46). Similarly, patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed improved HRV values after a 12-week long (3 times/week, 30 min/session) yoga practice compared to the only medical treatment control group (45).…”

“…However, with one exception of all the 19 included randomized controlled trials investigated longer and/or more frequent yoga programs. Concerning HRV, two recent studies (45,46) also reported positive outcomes, however both applied longer yoga interventions. Thus, we can assume that although yoga may affect HR and HRV positively, 10 weekly sessions are not sufficient to evoke such changes.…”

Beneficial physical and physiological health outcomes of yoga practice are well-supported by empirical data. However, whether weekly frequency of training is sufficient to evoke positive changes, is still an open question. The present intervention study investigated the effects of 10 weekly sessions of beginner level hatha yoga with respect to indicators of physical fitness and physiological markers. 82 young women (mean age of 22.0 ± 3.83 years) participated in the study. The yoga group (N = 49) attended a yoga course consisting of 10 sessions (1.5 h each) on a weekly basis. The control group (N = 33) did not receive any intervention. BMI, body fat percentage, balance (one-leg-stand test with open and closed eyes, functional reach test), flexibility (side bend test, modified sit and reach test) core muscle strength (plank test) as well as resting heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV) were assessed 1 week before and after the course. Both frequentist and Bayesian analysis showed an improvement in flexibility and balance in the yoga group compared to the control group. The yoga group showed also increased core muscle strength. No changes with respect to BMI, body fat percentage, resting HR and HRV were found. Ninety minute beginner level hatha yoga classes were characterized by 93.39 HR and 195 kcal energy consumption on average. The present findings suggest that weekly setting of a 10-session long hatha yoga training leads to improvements in balance, flexibility and core muscle strength among healthy young women. However, for changes in BMI, body fat percentage, resting HR and HRV longer, and/or more intense interventions are needed.

“…Most studies indicate that physical therapy for women after breast cancer surgery might significantly improve the upper limb condition [20], heart rate variability [21], functional state of the cardiopulmonary system [22][23][24], and quality of life. Theoretical justification for the use of yoga therapy for women's health [25], especially for patients with breast cancer, was based on its positive impact reported in scientific studies [6][7][8][9] on the functioning of the upper extremity, cardiovascular system, emotional state, quality life, etc.…”

IntroductionThe study investigated the effects of hatha yoga on range of motion and strength in women with breast cancer.MethodsA total of 93 patients completed the study. Their mean age was 57.53 ± 1.92 years in the yoga group and 58.10 ± 1.17 years in the control group. The yoga group (n = 48) received hatha yoga intervention for 3 months; the control group (n = 45) received current best practice care, including recommendation about compression sleeves, skin protection, and care of the affected arm. The control group was offered hatha yoga intervention after the final measurement. The outcomes were dynamometry and shoulder range of motion to analyse the functional capacity of the affected upper limb.ResultsAfter 3 months of performing hatha yoga, the active shoulder range of motion improved significantly in the affected limb and was significantly higher than in the control group: by 76.76° for flexion (p < 0.001), by 18.92° for extension (p < 0.001), by 80.21° for abduction (p < 0.001), by 33.29° for internal rotation (p < 0.001), by 27.36° for external rotation (p < 0.01). Strength for wrist flexion and power index in the affected limb improved by 6.0 kg (p < 0.001) and 8.25% (p < 0.001), respectively, in the yoga group and only by 1.1 kg (p > 0.05) and 1.44% (p > 0.05) in the control group.ConclusionsHatha yoga is more beneficial than usual care for improving active shoulder range of motion and upper limb strength.

“…The present study was conducted to evaluate the impact of hatha yoga intervention on the cardiovascular system in patients after breast cancer surgery. Most previous yoga programs for patients with breast cancer have been performed to reduce cancer treatment-related symptoms such as fatigue, heart rate variability, lymphoedema, depression, anxiety, and poor quality of life [17][18][19]30]. Some previous studies have identified that yoga considerably impacts on cardiorespiratory fitness and strength in healthy adults [31][32][33], but hatha yoga effect on functional capacity of the cardiovascular system in breast cancer Ukrainian patients has not been reported.…”

Introduction.The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of 2 different exercise regimens on cardiovascular fitness in women with breast cancer. Methods. A total of 110 women consented to take part in the study but only 102 met the inclusion criteria and were involved (8 patients did not meet the research criteria and were excluded); 95 women completed the interventions and were included in the final analysis. The patients' mean age was 57.53 ± 1.92 years for group A and 58.00 ± 1.27 years for group B. The participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group A (n = 48) received hatha yoga intervention and group B (n = 47) received Pilates intervention for 3 months. impedance cardiography was used to measure pre-and post-intervention functional capacity of the cardiovascular system. Results. Post-intervention impact was observed for both intervention approaches, but better improvement was noted in the group of hatha yoga than that of Pilates. The actual values of stroke volume and left ventricular power were significantly higher in group A compared with group B by 6.05 ml/beat (p < 0.05) and 0.19 W (p < 0.05), respectively; the relative values were correspondingly better by 6.22% (p < 0.05) and 10.71% (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Hatha yoga and Pilates interventions are both effective in improving cardiovascular function, but hatha yoga turns out more beneficial.
