ABSTRACT Introduction: The science of yoga is an ancient one. Yoga has been claimed to be useful in Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension and Heart disease, Asthma, Depression and Anxiety etc. Aims: The present study was planned to know the beneficial effects of yoga exercises on heart rate in diabetics. Method: The study involved 100 diabetic persons age group 40-60 years, out of which 50 patients were randomly selected for yogic exercises. Baseline record heart rate of patients was taken before starting yogic exercises. The patients then underwent a course of yogic exercises (Pranayamas, Mandukasan) for three months. At monthly intervals the serum heart rates were recorded. Results and Conclusions: There was a lowering of heart rate levels (p<0.01).This observation may be due to significant changes in insulin kinetics and those of counter regulatory hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and growth hormone. Thus Yogic exercises are recommended as a very cost effective useful adjunct along with medical treatments for the diabetes mellitus.
KEYWORDS: Diabetes mellitus; Heart rate; Yogic exercise.
