Abstract

Drug addiction significantly impacts physical and psychological health, often resulting in challenges such as weight management issues and cardiovascular irregularities. Yoga, a holistic practice, may serve as an adjunctive therapy to address these concerns. To evaluate the effects of yoga on body mass index (BMI) and heart rate (HR) in individuals undergoing drug addiction rehabilitation. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 60 participants from a rehabilitation center in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The participants were divided into four groups: Asana, Pranayama, a combination of Asana and Pranayama, and a control group. The intervention spanned 12 weeks with 30-min sessions three times a week. The Asana group (Mean-23.051) presented the most significant BMI reduction, followed by the Asana + Pranayama group (Mean-23.456) and the Pranayama group (Mean-23.851). The Pranayama group (Mean-67.950) significantly improved HR, followed by Asana + Pranayama group (Mean-68.603) and the Asana group (Mean-68.859) compared with the control group. Yoga has potential as an adjunctive therapy for improving BMI and HR in individuals recovering from drug addiction, making it a valuable component of holistic rehabilitation programs.

评估瑜伽对物质使用障碍患者身体质量指数和心率的影响：一项随机对照试验。

药物成瘾严重影响身体和心理健康，往往导致体重管理问题和心血管不规则等挑战。瑜伽是一种整体的练习，可以作为一种辅助疗法来解决这些问题。目的：评价瑜伽对戒毒个体体重指数（BMI）和心率（HR）的影响。本文对喜马偕尔邦西姆拉一家康复中心的60名参与者进行了随机对照试验。参与者被分为四组：体式，调息，体式和调息的组合，和一个对照组。干预为期12周，每次30分钟，每周三次。体位组（Mean-23.051）的BMI下降最为显著，其次是体位+调息组（Mean-23.456）和调息组（Mean-23.851）。与对照组相比，调息组（Mean-67.950）显著改善心率，其次是体式+调息组（Mean-68.603）和体式组（Mean-68.859）。瑜伽有潜力作为一种辅助疗法，改善从药物成瘾中恢复的个体的BMI和HR，使其成为整体康复计划的重要组成部分。
