Abstract

To determine the metabolic and heart rate (HR) responses of hatha yoga, 26 women (19-40 years old) performed a 30-minute hatha yoga routine of supine lying, sitting, and standing asanas (i.e., postures). Subjects followed identical videotaped sequences of hatha yoga asanas. Mean physiological responses were compared to the physiological responses of resting in a chair and walking on a treadmill at 93.86 m.min(-1) [3.5 miles per hour (mph)]. During the 30-minute hatha yoga routine, mean absolute oxygen consumption (Vo(2)), relative Vo(2), percentage maximal oxygen consumption (%Vo(2)R), metabolic equivalents (METs), energy expenditure, HR, and percentage maximal heart rate (%MHR) were 0.45 L.min(-1), 7.59 ml.kg(-1).min(-1), 14.50%, 2.17 METs, 2.23 kcal.min(-1), 105.29 b.min(-1), and 56.89%, respectively. When compared to resting in a chair, hatha yoga required 114% greater O(2) (L.min(-1)), 111% greater O(2)(ml.kg(-1).min(-1)), 4,294% greater %Vo(2)R, 111% greater METs, 108% greater kcal.min(-1), 24% greater HR, and 24% greater %MHR. When compared to walking at 93.86 m.min(-1), hatha yoga required 54% lower O(2)(L.min(-1)), 53% lower O(2)(ml.kg(-1).min(-1)), 68% lower %Vo(2)R, 53% lower METs, 53% lower kcal.min(-1), 21% lower HR, and 21% lower %MHR. The hatha yoga routine in this study required 14.50% Vo(2)R, which can be considered a very light intensity and significantly lighter than 44.8% Vo(2)R for walking at 93.86 m.min(-1) (3.5 mph). The intensity of hatha yoga may be too low to provide a training stimulus for improving cardiovascular fitness. Although previous research suggests that hatha yoga is an acceptable form of physical activity for enhancing muscular fitness and flexibility, these data demonstrate that hatha yoga may have little, if any, cardiovascular benefit.

摘要

为了确定哈他瑜伽的代谢和心率（HR）反应，26名女性（19 - 40岁）进行了30分钟的哈他瑜伽练习，包括仰卧、坐姿和站立体式（即姿势）。受试者遵循相同的哈他瑜伽体式录像序列。将平均生理反应与坐在椅子上休息以及在跑步机上以93.86米·分钟⁻¹[3.5英里每小时（mph）]行走时的生理反应进行比较。在30分钟的哈他瑜伽练习过程中，平均绝对耗氧量（Vo₂）、相对Vo₂、最大耗氧量百分比（%Vo₂R）、代谢当量（METs）、能量消耗、心率（HR）和最大心率百分比（%MHR）分别为0.45升·分钟⁻¹、7.59毫升·千克⁻¹·分钟⁻¹、14.50%、2.17 METs、2.23千卡·分钟⁻¹、105.29次·分钟⁻¹和56.89%。与坐在椅子上休息相比，哈他瑜伽需要的氧气量（升·分钟⁻¹）多114%，氧气量（毫升·千克⁻¹·分钟⁻¹）多111%，%Vo₂R多4294%，METs多111%，千卡·分钟⁻¹多108%，心率高24%，%MHR高24%。与以93.86米·分钟⁻¹的速度行走相比，哈他瑜伽需要的氧气量（升·分钟⁻¹）少54%，氧气量（毫升·千克⁻¹·分钟⁻¹）少53%，%Vo₂R少68%，METs少53%，千卡·分钟⁻¹少53%，心率低21%，%MHR低21%。本研究中的哈他瑜伽练习需要14.50%的Vo₂R，这可被视为非常低的强度，明显低于以93.86米·分钟⁻¹（3.5 mph）行走时的44.8%的Vo₂R。哈他瑜伽的强度可能过低，无法提供改善心血管健康的训练刺激。尽管先前的研究表明哈他瑜伽是增强肌肉健康和柔韧性的可接受的体育活动形式，但这些数据表明哈他瑜伽可能几乎没有心血管益处（如果有，也微乎其微）。
