The effect of consistent practice of yogic breathing exercises on the human cardiorespiratory system

Highlights • The effect of yogic breathing exercise (YBE) on chemosensitivity was investigated. • Practice of YBE can significantly alter end-tidal cases. • Practice of YBE results in complex cerebrovascular and cardiovascular oscillations. • Consistent practice of YBE may reduce chemosensitivity....
