The present study compared the effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic functions of the practice of an intensive yoga exercise routine called Dynamic Suryanamaskar (DSN) and a cycle ergometer test (CET) of increasing intensity. The study involved 18 middle-aged volunteers who had previously practiced DSN. The study was conducted in two series (i.e., as CET and DSN with similar intensity) until complete exhaustion. At rest (R), at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), and at the maximum workload (ML), the variables characterizing cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic functions were determined. In addition, the subjective intensity of both efforts was determined using the Borg test. No functional differences were observed in the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems at similar CET and DSN intensities. Respondents experienced less subjective workload during DSN than during CET ( < 0.001). Since DSN intensifies the activity of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems to a similar degree to CET both at VAT and ML, but causes less subjective fatigue, this yogic practice can be used as a laboratory exercise test and as an effective training medium.
本研究比较了高强度的动态太阳敬礼瑜伽练习（Dynamic Suryanamaskar，DSN）和循环测力计测试（Cycle Ergometer Test，CET）对心血管、呼吸和代谢功能的影响。研究对象为 18 名有过 DSN 练习经验的中年志愿者。研究分两个系列进行（即，CET 和 DSN 具有相似的强度），直至完全疲劳。在休息（R）、通气无氧阈（Ventilatory Anaerobic Threshold，VAT）和最大工作量（Maximum Workload，ML）时，确定了心血管、呼吸和代谢功能的特征变量。此外，还使用 Borg 测试来确定两种运动的主观强度。在类似的 CET 和 DSN 强度下，心血管、呼吸和代谢系统没有观察到功能差异。与 CET 相比，受访者在 DSN 期间的主观工作量较小（<0.001）。由于 DSN 在 VAT 和 ML 时都会使心血管、呼吸和代谢系统的活动强度与 CET 相似，但引起的主观疲劳较小，因此这种瑜伽练习可以作为实验室运动测试和有效的训练媒介。
