Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study tested the hypothesis that yoga practice can improve respiratory function in the elderly.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure (IPmax and EPmax) were assessed by a manovacuometer and tidal volume (VT), vital capacity (VC) and minute ventilation (VE) were assessed by a ventilometer. The yoga program comprised 70 min sessions, 3 times/week during 12 weeks.
