For styrkeløftere med grepsproblemer skal jeg love at dette er noe av det som ikke har vært prøvd før, haha.

Effect of yoga training on handgrip, respiratory pressures and pulmonary function.

Although there are a number of reports on the effect of yoga training on pulmonary functions, very few studies have been undertaken on the effect of yoga training on respiratory pressures and handgrip endurance. Hence the present work was planned to study the effect of yoga training on hand grip strength (HGS), hand grip endurance (HGE), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), forced expiratory volume (FEV), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). 20 school children in the age group of 12 to 15 years were given yoga training (asans and pranayams) for 6 months. 20 age and gender-matched students formed the control group. Yoga training produced statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase in HGS and HGE. MEP, MIP, FEV, FEV1 and PEFR also increased significantly (P < 0.001) after the yoga training. In contrast, the increase in these parameters in the control group was statistically insignificant. Our study shows that yoga training for 6 months improves lung function, strength of inspiratory and expiratory muscles as well as skeletal muscle strength and endurance. It is suggested that yoga be introduced at school level in order to improve physiological functions, overall health and performance of students.

This just in!!!

Jan Baggerud Larsen slo alle i verden da han tok 5 reps. på captian of crush nr 4!!! :o

Kunne tenkt meg å vite hva kontroll gruppen gjorde på her. Er sammenligningen mellom barn som holdt på med yoga og barn som gjorde ingenting eller barn som fulgte vanlig gym?'

Samtidig virker det som testene de gjør er på den samme gruppen, bare på forskjellige tider (før og etter), og ikke mellom kontroll gruppen og yoga gruppen....... Ble bare nysgjerrig - mest sannsynlig er dette gjort helt riktig, men vet ikke hvor strikt Indian J Physiol Pharmacol er...

Altså: bare nysgjerrig (cause I'm a nerd) - har ikke tenkt å begynne med yoga nei... klarer ikke klø meg i nakken nesten :) kanskje det betyr at jeg skal begynne med det i stedet??
