anaerobic hatha yoga.
This happens without oxygen, fuel comes from muscle storage and is short, highly intense and burns fat directly. Example is weightlifting. More fast twitch muscle
Aerobic hatha yoga
This takes place with oxygen where carbohydrate and oxygen are used as fuel for the first two minutes after which fat is burned. These are
Fast twitch muscle fiber (type -2), with hatha yoga practices.
The greater your aerobic capacity, the longer your muscles can function without fatiguing or burning out. Type IIa fibers have more potential for increased aerobic capacity,
slow twitch muscle fiber (type -1), hatha yoga style
Slow-twitch, or Type I muscle fibers, are skeletal muscle fibers that slowly contract. Slow-twitch muscle fibers support everyday actions, like standing from a seated position and
hamstring muscles.
Hamstring muscles are in the back of the thigh, starting at the hip and inserting to the knee. The three hamstring muscles are: Biceps femoris, closest to
quadriceps muscles
The quadriceps are a group of muscles present on the front of the thigh. They consist of four distinct muscles: the rectus femoris, the vastus lateralis,
vital capacity
Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can inhale after a maximum exhalation. It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve
Importance of pleura during respiration
The pleura fluid itself has a slightly adhesive quality that helps draw the lungs outward during inhalation rather than slipping round in the chest cavity. In
Gaseous Exchange
The transfer of gases between an organism and the external environment in either direction. It occurs by diffusion across a concentration gradient and includes the
Retraction in asana movement
Moving the scapula toward the spine, also called scapular adduction or pulling the mandible backward. When you draw your shoulder blades together, it’s a retraction,
Protraction in asana movement
Explain term Protraction, in compare with asana movement. Moving the scapula away from the spine, also called scapular abduction or jutting the mandible forward. When
Lateral rotation (external rotation), in asana movement
Explain term Lateral rotation (external rotation), in compare with asana movement. Lateral rotation is rotating away from the midline. An external rotation is when the
Medial rotation (internal rotation), in asana movement
Explain term Medial rotation (internal rotation), in compare with asana movement. Medial rotation is rotating toward the midline. Medial rotation is a term describing a
Lateral flexion in asana movement.
Lateral flexion is a movement that bends the body to the right or left side. It helps to open up the side-body, strengthens the obliques,
Pronation in asana movement
Turning the palms of the hands downward, or walking on the inside edge of the foot. Pronation describes a rotational movement of the forearm that results
Supination in asana movement.
Turning the palms of the hands upward, or walking on the outer edge of the foot. Supine means lying in a faceup position. It is
Adduction, in asana movement.
Adduction of a joint makes a body part move towards the midline of the body. For instance, adduction happens when we move the thigh toward or
Abduction, in asana movement.
Abduction of a joint makes a body part move away from the midline of the body in the anatomical position. For instance, abduction is the term
Extension, in compare with asana movement.
Extension is an increase in the angle of a joint. Extension of a joint makes a body part move in a backwards direction. (The knee
term Flexion, in compare with asana movement
Flexion of a joint makes a body part move in a forward direction from the anatomical position. Flexion is a movement that brings the spine down
Bursae
Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between moving parts in your body’s joints. Elbow bursitis is inflammation or irritation of the bursa (shown in
Fascia
Fascia is made up of sheets of connective tissue that is found below the skin. These tissues attach, stabilize, impart strength, maintain vessel patency, separate muscles,
Ligament
A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
Tendon
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves
Cartilage
Cartilage is the main type of connective tissue seen throughout the body. It serves a variety of structural and functional purposes and exists in different types
Isotonic Contraction
This is a contraction in which movement does take place, because the tension generated by the contracting muscle exceeds the load on the muscle. This
Isometric Contraction
This is a contraction in which no movement takes place, because the load on the muscle exceeds the tension generated by the contracting muscle. This

Anaerobic is performed in the absence of oxygen at a maximal intensity that can only be sustained for a short period of time due to
aerobic exercise and hatha yoga practices.
Aerobic exercise is performed in the presence of oxygen at a submaximal intensity over a prolonged period of time, e.g. rowing. Yoga is necessary to

Anaerobic is performed in the absence of oxygen (It uses carbohydrate and minimal oxygen) at a maximal intensity that can only be sustained for a
Aerobic hatha yoga
Aerobic yoga is a style of yoga in which the asanas — yoga postures — are sequenced together much faster than they ordinarily would be, in
