Both yoga and whole-body vibration exercise may have a wide-range of positive effects independent of each other. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of yoga performed on and off a vibration platform on blood pressure, flexibility, and vertical jump. METHODS: Subjects (n = 14; 9 females, 5 males; mean age = 22.5 ±1.9) completed 3randomized protocols of yoga on and off a vibration platform. The testing protocols were: 1) yoga poses on vibration platform with low frequency and low amplitude (PPL), 2) yoga poses on platform with high frequency and high amplitude …

3-Dimensional Biomechanical Comparison Of Spinal Posture In Yoga Practitioners And Non-Practitioners During A Seated And Standing Position, Savannah V. Wooten
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Yoga has been claimed to be beneficial for helping a series of clinical populations and improving ailments such as, but not limited to, stress, chronic back pain, muscle endurance, flexibility, balance, and posture. Whereas many of the above listed assertions have been scientifically investigated, there is a lack of objective evidence that supports the claim that yoga improves posture. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to compare a 3-D biomechanical analysis of spinal posture among yoga practitioners (YP) and Non yoga practitioners (NP) during seated and standing positions. METHODS: 10 yoga practitioners (M= 3, F=7) and 10 …
