Describe the physiological changes that can occur with regular yoga practice, and explain why these occur.?
What will be an ideal response?
A study reported that the following characteristic pattern of physiological alterations occurred during regular yoga practice:1. An extreme slowing of respiration to 4 to 6 breaths per minute2. More than a 70% increase in electrical resistance based on galvanic skin response (GSR), indicating a state of deep relaxation3. A predominance of alpha brainwave activity4. Slowing of the heart rate to 24 beats per minute from the normal rate of 72 beats per minuteThese alterations in physiology indicate deep levels of relaxation, which activates parasympathetic nervous system activity. The parasympathetic nervous system unleashes energy, restores the immune system, and fixes many problems that stem from a chronically activated fight-or-flight response.
