Background: Shavasana is one of the most popular yogic exercises used for relaxation of body. Aim and Objectives: The present study was done to nd out direct effect of Shavasana on cardiac output and peripheral resistance by using Impedance Cardiovasograph (Nivomon, Larsen & Toubro Medical's). Material and Methods: One hundred asymptomatic healthy male subjects, aged 17-23 years, participated voluntarily in the present study. Cardiac output, systemic peripheral resistance and other cardiovascular parameters were measured before and after Shavasana of 30 minutes. Results: Statistically signicant decrement was observed in all cardiovascular parameters after shavasana but decrement was more pronounced in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Heart Rate (HR), Systemic Peripheral Resistance (SPR) and Systemic Vascular Resistance Index (SVRI) in comparison to decrement in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Cardiac Output (CO), Stroke Volume (SV), Cardiac Index (CI), Stroke Volume Index (SI). Conclusion: The practice of Shavasana for short duration immediately improves cardiovascular parameters including cardiac output and systemic peripheral resistance which directly inuence blood pressure and might be benecial in normal subjects and hypertensive patients as well.
