초록

The research was carried out to investigate the effects of yoga exercise on the incidence of cardiovascular diseases by measuring the intima-media thickness(IMT) and blood flow variables of the carotid artery in the females who had participated in a 12-week yoga program. Methods: Sixteen women upon the onset of the menopause were randomly grouped into the excercise group and the control, with 8 individuals for each group. Each individual practiced a yoga exercise program 90 minutes three times a week with the intensity of exercise up to the level of 45～50% of HRR from 1week to 6week and the level of 50～60% of HRR from 7week to 12week. We measured the body compositions, cardiopulmonary functions, blood lipid profiles, IMT and blood flow variables of the carotid artery both before and after 12-weeks yoga exercise program.
The body weights were decreased significantly(p<.05 ) in the individuals of the exercise group and a significant difference(p<.05) was also observed between the body weights of each group. Maximum ventilation(p<.01), maximum oxygen uptake(p<.05), maximum oxygen uptake per body weight(p<.01) were significantly increased in the individuals of the exercise group. No significant differences in the blood lipid profiles, the blood pressures and the intima-media thickness(IMT) of the carotid artery. Significant differences were found in the pulsatility index(PI) and the resistance index(RI)(p<.05).
The beneficial effects of the yoga exercise on the body composition, cardiopulmonary functions and blood flow variables shown above suggests that participating yoga program could exert a favorable influence on decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the menopausal women.
