Impact of Spinal Flexion and Extension-based Yoga Postures on Autonomic Nervous System Activity in Moderately Experienced Yoga Practitioners: A Randomized Crossover Trial
Both spinal flexion and extension-based yoga postures enhance parasympathetic activity in moderately experienced practitioners, as evidenced by increased HF HRV. Future research should focus on long-term impact of different yoga postures and employ advanced measurement techniques for greater methodological rigor.
