Summary:Conclusion: Regular practice of Bhastrika pranayama may tend to improve the strength in the respiratory musculature which leads to an improvement in the lung functions in them. [...]better the lung function in old age better the quality of life. [...]Bhastrika pranayama is all about inhaling and exhaling completely so that our body gets sufficient amount of oxygen. Smokers, patients with diabetes, hypertension, and chronic respiratory problems such as asthma, tuberculosis were also excluded from the study. [...]their physical characteristics such as height, weight, and age, which have a role to play in determining the lung volumes, have been taken. The ribs and vertebral joints are variably calcified. [...]the muscles of respiratory cage-diaphragm, intercostals, and scalini contract poorly.
