Abstract

Background & Method: This study was conducted in Department of Physiology, Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre (Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences) & Malwanchal University, Indore. The ethical clearance was be taken for the study from the Ethical Committee of the Institute, subjects of both sex from Index Campus was be selected for the study, subject to the criteria described below. Respiratory rate, pulse and blood pressure 5ml of blood sample was be taken after overnight fasting and serum was be analyzed Lipid profile, Triglycerides, Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL & VLDLResult: The chi-square statistic is 0.0245. The p-value is 0.048517. The result is significant at p < .05. The chi-square statistic is 0.0364. The p-value is 0.03156. The result is significant at p < .05. The chi-square statistic is 0.5402. The p-value is 0.041654. The result is significant at p < .05.Conclusion: Stress is a major public health problem and one of the approaches to address this problem is through yoga. The findings of the study demonstrate the efficacy of yoga exercise on fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, oxidative stress markers and antioxidant status in obese patients. The response observed using yoga exercise is more significant in obese individuals when compared with non-obese individuals. These findings suggest that yoga intervention has therapeutic preventative and protective effects in obese patients by decreasing oxidative stress. Also waist circumference correlates better with uric acid levels than BMI.
