Effects of a 12-week Home-based Yoga on Bone and Cardiovascular Health

Summary

While effects of specific exercise interventions on bone and CVD in postmenopausal women have been demonstrated and evaluated, the effects of randomized controlled exercise interventions, particularly in middle-aged premenopausal women are sparse. Therefore, it is imperative to examine the relation between behavioral interventions and bone and cardiovascular outcomes in premenopausal women as this understudied group is at high risk for the initial stages of bone loss and cardiovascular disease development.

BEHAVIORAL

Yoga group

During the in-home yoga intervention, participants performed 30 to 50 minutes of yoga postures three to five times a week for 12 weeks, including 5 minutes of warm-up exercise, 15 to 30 minutes of dynamic flow yoga postures, 10 minutes of weight barring standing postures, and 5 minutes of cool-down. These in-home sessions were a repeat of what participants learned during the first week of training session at UML. We progressively increased the intensity of the home practice sessions by adding the number of sun salutation (SS) over the 12 weeks.
