Background: Exercises in the form of sports, Yoga, Aerobics, or workout, if performed regularly, have a beneficial effect on the various systems of the body. The major advantage of such exercises is that the increase in blood flow to the various organs results in distribution of more nutrients, thereby enhancing their functioning. Yoga and Aerobic training are considered to be more effective than other method of training in developing physical fitness. It is long lasting and can be performed at different stations without apparatus. Aim and Objective: To study Peak expiratory flow rate among female population undergoing six weeks yoga & aerobics training individually. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 female healthy subjects aged between 19-35 years doing respective exercise regularly for six weeks, 5 days/week; without any comorbid respiratory or cardiovascular ailments such as ischemic heart disease/diabetes mellitus/asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Demographic details such as age, gender, and history of respiratory or cardiac symptoms were taken by detailed medical history and physical examination. PEFR of subjects of both the groups were measured and evaluated. PEFR was measured using Wrights handheld peak flow meter. Results: Statistically significant (P < 0.05) difference was seen in PEFR of subjects doing yoga versus aerobics. group A (yoga) mean value of PEFR is 406.4 with SD 75.79, and in group B(aerobics) value of PEFR is 363.6 with SD 55.74. Conclusion: As the study concludes that the subject of both, Yoga & Aerobics group improved their pulmonary function in female population. But yoga is seen highly significant as compare to aerobics in female population.
