Effectiveness of yogic exercise on respiratory health indices: A systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention studies
Get PDFRespiratory health is a vital component of overall well-being, with various interventions being explored to enhance pulmonary function. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the impact of yogic exercise on respiratory health indices, focusing on Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), a key measure of lung function. A rigorous search identified 53 relevant intervention studies, which were subjected to thorough assessment and quantitative synthesis. The findings of this meta-analysis revealed a significant and positive effect of yogic intervention on Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). The collective evidence from the included studies demonstrated consistent improvements in FVC following yogic exercise regimens. The magnitude of the observed effect underscores the potential of yogic practices as a beneficial strategy for enhancing respiratory health. The systematic review also explored potential sources of heterogeneity, considered study quality, and assessed publication bias. Sensitivity analyses reaffirmed the robustness of the observed effect on FVC, highlighting the reliability of the results. The implications of these findings are promising, suggesting that the incorporation of yogic exercise into respiratory health interventions could hold substantial clinical and public health value. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms through which yogic practices exert their positive effects on respiratory health. Additionally, investigations into the optimal types, durations, and frequencies of yogic interventions are essential for refining recommendations in both preventive and therapeutic contexts. In conclusion, this systematic review and meta-analysis provide compelling evidence of the effectiveness of yogic exercise in improving Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), a critical indicator of respiratory health. These findings contribute to a growing body of literature supporting the potential of holistic and non-pharmacological approaches to enhance pulmonary function and overall well-being

A Comparative Study of Aggression Between Team Sports and Individual Sports
Get PDFThe term ‘psychology’, literally means the science of the soul. (Psyche—soul; logos -science). Formerly, psychology was a part of metaphysics, and dealt with the nature, origin, and destiny of the soul. It was called rational psychology. But modern psychology is empirical, and does not deal with the problems relating to the soul. It deals with mental process apart from the soul or mental substance. It is the science of experience and behaviour, which tells us how the mind works and behaves. It can predict the behaviour of an individual, and control it to a certain extent by putting him under proper conditions. It seeks to discover the laws of mind. The current study was investigate the aggression between team sports and individual sports. The present study was consisted of 140 students randomly chosen as the subjects of the study. The Questionnaire was used as a tool to collect data on psychological variables for this investigation assessed by Smith. To compare the aggression between team and individual sports ‘t’ test was applied as a statistical tool, the level of significance was set as 0.05. The findings of the present study demonstrated that there was a significant difference in aggression among team sports and individual sports. Based on the interpretation, a researcher concludes that college level team sports players were found more aggressive than the college level players of individual sports.

The Origin of Obesity: Proportional Influence of Metabolic Factors, Dietary Choices, and Physical Activity
Get PDFThree primary factors contribute to the regulation of body weight: metabolic factors, dietary habits, and physical activity, all of which are influenced to varying degrees by genetic traits. Despite recent advancements in our understanding of these factors, the prevalence of obesity in Westernized societies continues to rise. In contrast to instances seen in monogenic animal models and rare genetic syndromes in humans, the predisposition to common forms of obesity likely involves numerous susceptibility genes. These genes contribute to variations in energy requirements, fuel utilization, muscle metabolism, and taste preferences. While recent increases in obesity rates cannot be attributed to changes in the genetic makeup of populations, it is plausible that previously unnoticed genetic variations now play permissive roles in the context of modern societies.
Available data indicates that variations in resting energy expenditure, the thermic effect of food, and fuel utilization exist but are unlikely, by themselves, to fully account for the onset of obesity. As for dietary patterns, the best available trend data suggests that fat and overall energy intake have decreased, not only in this region but in other Westernized countries as well. Paradoxically, the simultaneous trends of declining energy intake and increasing body weight point toward reduced physical activity as the most significant current factor contributing to the escalating prevalence of obesity. Modern existence necessitates a radical departure from previously beneficial energy-conserving dietary and exercise practices.
Recognizing the inherent challenges in adhering to energy-restricted diets within an environment replete with fast food options and social indulgences, it is unlikely that the current trajectory of rising body weight can be reversed solely through recommendations for further reductions in energy intake. Rather, a substantial increase in physical activity levels is likely required in response to an environment that now encourages a more sedentary lifestyle
