The present study was conducted to assess the immediate effect of high-frequency yoga breathing on muscle strength and motor speed. Bilateral handgrip strength, leg and back strength, finger tapping and arm tapping speed were assessed in fifty male participants (group mean age ± SD, 26.9 ± 6.2 years) before and after (a) high frequency yoga breathing for 15 minutes and (b) breath awareness for the same duration. Sessions (a) and (b) were on two different days but at the same time of the day. The schedule was alternated for different participants. There was a significant increase (P < 0.05) in right hand grip strength after high frequency yoga breathing. Both finger and arm tapping improved after both practices. The results suggest a role for high frequency yoga breathing in improving the hand grip strength as an immediate effect.
本研究旨在评估高频瑜伽呼吸对肌肉力量和运动速度的即时影响。对50名男性参与者（组平均年龄±标准差，26.9±6.2岁）在（a）进行15分钟高频瑜伽呼吸前后以及（b）进行相同时长的呼吸觉知前后，评估双侧握力、腿部和背部力量、手指敲击和手臂敲击速度。（a）和（b）环节在不同日期但同一天的同一时间进行。不同参与者的日程安排交替进行。高频瑜伽呼吸后右手握力显著增加（P<0.05）。两种练习后手指和手臂敲击速度均有所提高。结果表明高频瑜伽呼吸对即时提高握力有作用。
