Effect of alternate nostril breathing on cardio respiratory parameters and muscle strength among rotating shift workers

Night shifts work in particular is the most frequent reasons for circadian rhythm disruption and subsequent psychological physiological disturbances, especially increased risk of cardiovascular respiratory ailments compared to daytime workers. Alternate nostril breathing about 15 minutes was known have effect over cardiac, parameters muscle strength. Hence aim interest assess effects alternate (ANB) on cardiorespiratory strength among rotating shift workers tertiary care hospital. This observational study carried out department Physiology after getting institutional ethical committee clearance. Around 140 night both sex age 25-40 years with normal BMI non-shift age, matched were selected as control group respectively. Heart rate, blood Pressure, peak expiratory flow endurance, burst test, fatigue recorded before ANB. Shift found significantly altered systolic (P=0.000) diastolic (P=0.002) pressure heart rate (P= 0.010) All strength, be (P< 0.05) ANB between non- can used a therapeutic module workers, maintain their sound health improve performance duty.
