Background: Middle-aged women frequently face hormonal shifts that bring about changes in various physiological functions, including blood components such as haematocrit. The biological reference percentage of Haematocrit in adult female is 36-46 %, which is a critical marker that affects oxygen-carrying capacity and circulatory efficiency (According to Medicity Laboratory). Gentle yogasana may positively influence hematocrit response by enhancing circulation and reducing stress. While several studies on Hematocrit have been conducted across different age groups, limited research has focused on middle-aged women. In this context, the researcher sought to investigate the effectiveness of gentle yogasana on hematocrit response.
Objectives: To assess the effect of gentle yogasana on hematocrit response of middle aged women.
Subjects: Total no of Twenty Five (N=25), middle aged women (aged 40 to 60 yrs) were randomly selected for the present study. The blood samples were collected with their prior concern and without any coercion.
Methods: Convenience sampling method has been used for this experimental study. Yoga treatment which includes fourteen (14) different gentle yogasana in supine, prone, sitting and standing position was given for 28 days. The Yoga program was planned under the guidance of Yoga Experts,i) Prof. R. Elangovan, Faculty of Science &therapy,MAHER, Chennai, Tamil Nadu and ii) PratapSantra, Yoga Instructor, University of kalyani, WB ). Paired t-test (two-tailed) was conducted and the significance of Means were tested at p<0.05 level of significance.
Result: It was observed that the Paired t-test was found significant at 0.05 levels of significance. The statistically significant differences was found between the Pre and Post Test in Hematocrit response.
Conclusion: Gentle Yogasana significantly improved hematocrit response of middle-aged women, indicating enhanced blood oxygen-carrying capacity and overall hematological health. The findings suggest that regular gentle yogasana practice can be an effective non-pharmacological intervention to support cardiovascular and circulatory function during midlife.
