ASSOCIATION BETWEEN VIDEO ASSISTED TEACHING PROGRAM AND TRADITIONAL DEMONSTRATION OF PRANAYAMA ON SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AMONG PATIENTS WITH COPD

Abstract

The third-leading cause of death in the very first two decades of the 20th century is expected to be COPD worldwide and the fifth greatest cause of disability, according to the global burden of Illness research. In developing nations, COPD is anticipated to rank third for women and fourth for men in terms of the primary causes of disability in 2020. A thorough yoga program can enhance general wellbeing and respiratory function, which will improve a person's capacity to complete daily chores. It is common knowledge that COPD exacerbates emotional sensitivity, a lack of activity and decreased muscle mass. To facilitate diffusion and transport. The environment inside the alveoli and bronchial vessels particularly at the bronchi-capillary membranes, may change as a result of this pranayama routine. We made the decision to use physiological testing to study the impact of pranayama on a sample of COPD patients, because we have not found any research on how it affects the lung's transfer factor for carbon monoxide. Accordingly, the current study aimed to determine the relationship between a traditional pranayama demonstration and a video-assisted training program on a set of physiological indicators in elderly COPD patients.
