Research description
Investigating mindfulness/yoga based exercises. Project in balance ability and dose of physical activity. Breathing exercises for post-covid. COPD patients and home-based mindfulness training with MI (coaching) - ongoing pilot.
Investigated 3 different yogic interventions on cardiovascular health, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical function, respiration and experiences. Articles on subjective health parameters as perceived health, stress,sleep, the most common symptoms and mental health (in both healthy and diseased participants).
Ongoing project title: Effect of yogic exercises on objective and subjective health parameters/Effekter av yogaträning på objektiva och subjektiva hälsoparametrar
Main supervisor for my PhD project: Per Wändell
Startdate: 2013
Background: PhD 2017. Subjective health data published
Method:
Results: Increased dosage of yogic exercises is correlated with improved health as sleep and depression. Yogic exercises compared to usual care (physical therapy as cycling and strength training) seem not to have any negative effects and similar effects on health as conventional treatment.
