Effect of Yogic Intervention at various Temperatures on Lipid Profiles of Patients with Dyslipidaemia

Abstract: Increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles had been closely associated with a range of health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and mental health conditions. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of yogic interventions performed at varying temperatures on selected biochemical variables in sedentary males. This research was designed as an interventional study. We included 90 subjects having the age criteria of 25 to 40 years for this study. They were categorized among three groups, in which the study implemented a standardized set of yoga practices, including asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and dhyana (meditation), conducted under controlled temperature conditions categorized as hot (35-45°C), cold (5-15°C), and room temperature (23-27°C). The duration and intensity of the yogic practices were consistent across all groups to ensure comparability. The Medigram Multispecialty hospital (Hr) conducted this for three months, 5 days a week, yoga groups took one-hour yoga sessions in the morning. At the beginning and on the termination of the three months, the lipid profiles parameter of the group patients was compared. To assess the effects of interventions across the different temperature conditions Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used. After a 3-month yoga intervention, it has resulted in the pre-post-test that all group patient’s triglycerides, total cholesterol as well as LDL levels decreased significantly while HDL levels increased but when inter-group compared found to be non sig. Yoga, as a lifestyle integrating physical activity and stress reduction techniques, tackles elevated cholesterol levels in patients through diverse methods.
