Figures & Tables

Figure 1.

Modified Thai Yoga postures done by a Yoga instructor (a) Warm up, (b) main exercise and (c) cool down, respectively.

Fig. 2

Heart rate and metabolic responses to the modified Thai Yoga exercise program. Mean+SD, obese group (OB), non-obese group (NB), heart rate (HR), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), total oxygen consumption (VO2), relative osygen consumption (VO2/BW), total carbon dioxide rpoduction (VCO2), relative carbon dioxide production (VCO2/BW). • p < 0.05 represents a significant difference at resting, treadmill walking, and exercise phase between groups, ap < 0.05 represents a significant difference: treadmill walking vs exercise phase inboth groups.

Fig. 3

Impact of the modified Thai Yoga exercise program on energy expenditure. Mean+SD, obese group (OB), non-obese group (NB), metabolic equivalent (MET), percent of maximal heart rate (%maxHR), absolute total energy expenditure (TEE), relative total energy expenditure (TEE/BW), total activity energy expenditure (AEE), relative activity energy expenditure (AEE/BW). * p < 0.05 represents a signific ant difference at resting, treadmill walking and exercise phases between groups, ap < 0.05 represented a significant difference: treadmill walking vs exercise in both groups.
