Abstract

The  practice  of  yoga  and  pranayama  is  a gift  of  our  Indian  culture.  Only  recently  we  have  begun  to  understand  the  vast  potentials  and  health  benefits  of  it.  In  order  to  find  out  the  scientific  explainations  of  Pranayama,  the  study  was  undertaken.  The  efficacy  of  short  term  Pranayama  on Audio-visual  reaction  time( AVRT )  was   assessed  in  the  present  study.  The  study  included  25  healthy  volunteers  of  either  gender  between  age  group  30-50  years.  The  subjects  were  given  daily  Pranayama  practice  for  continuous  one  month. Audio-visual  reaction  time  was  determined  at  the  beginning  and  at  the  end  of  the  session.  The  study  showed  significant  change  in  the  Audio-visual  reaction  time.  It  showed  a  decrease  in  Audio-visual  reaction  time  which  indicates  increase  in  alertness. The  study  concluded  that  Pranayama  can  augment  the  higher  functions  of  central  nervous  system.
