Group Action of Muscles Agonists: Group of muscles which contract to provide the force required to produce the movement. Antagonists: These muscles oppose the action of agonists and relax progressively for permitting the movement. Synergists: These groups of muscles work with agonists to provide a suitable activity and facilitates the movements Fixators: These muscles stabilize the bones of origin

Primary Study Objective: To determine if vinyasa yoga is an aerobic physical activity based on the HR response of participants. Methods/Design: Observational study using a convenience sample Setting: Exercise room on a university campus Participants: Forty-two adults aged 21-54 years with prior yoga experience completed the yoga session with no adverse events. Equipment malfunction precluded data analysis for 4 participants. Intervention: A 50-minute vinyasa yoga class that included 10 minutes of pre-activity rest, 35 minutes of asanas, and 5 minutes of meditation. Participant HR was recorded continuously during the class. Primary Outcome Measures: Mean HR response and time spent at each intensity level during asanas. Results: The data of 38 participants were analyzed. Mean (SD) HR for all participants during asanas was 107 (23) beats per minute (bpm), and 44% of the asana time was considered light-intensity aerobic physical activity.

  • Changes of the Maximal Muscle Torque in Women Training Power Yoga (Astanga Vinyasa)
    HUMAN MOVEMENT 2006, vol. 7 (2), 168–177 CHANGES OF THE MAXIMAL MUSCLE TORQUE IN WOMEN TRAINING POWER YOGA (ASTANGA VINYASA) Krzysztof Buśko1, 2, *, Radosław Rychlik3 1 Department of Biomechanics, Institute of Sport, Warszawa, Poland 2 Department of the Theory of Sport, University School of Physical Education, Warszawa, Poland 3 Astanga Yoga Studio, Warszawa, Poland ABSTRACT Purpose. The aim of the study was to examine the changes of the maximal muscle torque in females during a six-month Power Yoga (Astanga Vinyasa) training. It was assumed that Power Yoga training caused changes of the maximal muscle torque in females during six months, but the topography of all muscle groups did not follow these changes. Basic procedures. Twelve untrained female subjects took part in the study. They practiced Power Yoga twice a week for six months. Muscle torque measurements in static conditions were performed on two dates: before the commencement of Power Yoga training and after its completion. Ten muscle groups were studied: flexors and extensors of the trunk, as well as flexors and extensors of the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. Main findings. The differences between muscle torque values for flexors and extensors of the shoulder, elbow and hip, as well as flexors of the knee on the right side of the body were statistically significant between the 1st and 2nd measurement. On the left side of the body, only the muscle torque of the elbow extensors increased significantly. For flexors and extensors of the trunk, the changes were not significant. No changes of the flexors–extensors ratio for the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee joints and trunk were observed during the six months of training, with the exception of left shoulder muscles and right knee muscles.
