Shanmughavadivu. R, Durai Arasan. R

Abstract :

Background: Pranayama is a eathing practice in which one controls his/her own eathing. This is a part of yoga practice and has multiple health benefits. Reaction time is the time between presentation of stimulus and appearance of appropriate voluntary response in a subject. Methodology: The study was conducted in 100 M.B.B.S. students in the age range of 18–23 years using reaction time software. Results: The visual reaction time value before Pranayama was 282.86 ± 16.20 ms and after Pranayama practice was 252.56 ± 18.12 ms. This is statistically significant with a p–value < 0.001. Conclusion: Regular practice of Pranayama results in reduced reaction time which indicates an improved attention span
