Summary

Aging is a differentiation process with chronological, biological, psychological and social characteristics, which occurs in the intrauterine period and ends with death. With aging, the structures and functions of tissues are affected and there is a decline in overall physical performance. Asanas in yoga use tonic muscle contraction coordinated with breath control and kinesthetic awareness, which saves energy compared to phasic muscle contraction often observed in physical exercises. We have not encountered a study examining the effect of asanas on muscular activity in old age. Our study will provide support to the literature in this direction.
