Study was done to determine the immediate effect of forced nostril breathing in memory performance. Fifty normal subjects of both genders, age 25±5 years were enrolled. The subjects were trained for forced nostril breathing; i.e. right nostril breathing, left nostril breathing, alternate nostril breathing and breath awareness for duration of 30 minutes daily for two week. The subjects were examined before and after two week yoga training for immediate effect of nostril breathing in memory performance using WECHSLER memory scale. This was self-control study to determine the immediate effect of forced nostril breathing in memory performance. Measure ANOVA analysis revealed a significant increase in Digit Span Forward , Digit Span Backward and associate learning recall performance due to forced nostril breathing at P<0.001 level.

Abstract


Study was done to determine the immediate effect of forced nostril breathing in memory performance. Fifty normal subjects of both genders, age 25±5 years were enrolled. The subjects were trained for forced nostril breathing; i.e. right nostril breathing, left nostril breathing, alternate nostril breathing and breath awareness for duration of 30 minutes daily for two week. The subjects were examined before and after two week yoga training for immediate effect of nostril breathing in memory performance using WECHSLER memory scale. This was self-control study to determine the immediate effect of forced nostril breathing in memory performance. Measure ANOVA analysis revealed a significant increase in Digit Span Forward , Digit Span Backward and associate learning recall performance due to forced nostril breathing at P<0.001 level.
