Comparative Study on Influence of Regular Breathing Exercises on Obesity Indices and Blood Sugar Level in Young Individuals

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is a recognized underlying risk factor for the development of numerous endocrine illnesses, including diabetes mellitus and thyroid problems. Diabetes is a discreet health problem and is now recognized as one of the main causes of mortality rate across the world. Diabetes is an epidemic in India, as evidenced by 2012 indicated that nearly 60% of deaths in the country are caused by non-communicable disorders.

Materials and Methods: We have examined 365 males between the ages of 18 and 25 and identified 84 who used regular breathing exercises. After receiving approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee and the College Research Committee, this study was carried out for a year. The participants were assigned to two groups: Group-1 consisted of individuals who did not engage in any kind of breathing exercises, and Group-2 consisted of those who had been doing regular breathing exercises for a minimum of three months. To accomplish to assess the differences in blood sugar levels and obesity indices between participants who regularly performed breathing exercises and those who did not, our current study involved 365 healthy young males between the ages of 18 and 25. The analysis were conducted using SPSS software v27 and p <0.05 was considered significant statistically.

Results: We concluded that 84 of the 365 males in our study, aged 18 to 25, were regularly performing breathing exercises. The data also shows that obesity indices do not differ significantly between the study groups. The levels of serum RBS do not differ considerably amongst the research groups.

Conclusion: We found that regular breathing exercises did not influence the blood sugar levels of the participants. Therefore, we get the conclusion that, when compared to people of the same age who participate in regular breathing exercises, young males' obesity indices and blood sugar levels are not impacted by their lack of exercise. To spread further light on the potential association, we propose conducting additional research with a larger sample size in this area.
