Effect of yoga on aerobic and anaerobic power of muscles

B Balasubramanian et al. Indian J Physiol Pharmacol. 1991 Oct.

Abstract

Aerobic Power (VO2 max) and anaerobic power were estimated in medical students before and after six weeks of yogic training. A significant increase in aerobic power and a significant decrease in anaerobic power was observed. This may be due to conversion of some of the Fast Twitch (F.T.) muscle fibres into Slow Twitch fibres (S.T.) during yogic training.
