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 - manuscript writing 2022

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, MD, senior professor KI                                                    

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) does not have any negative effects and have similar effects on health and physical function as conventional treatment.
