Abstract: Deep breathing exercise is found to be useful technique in bringing out changes in \nphysiological and pathological conditions in cardiovascular system. Keeping this in view, the \npresent study was designed to see the effect of deep breathing training on exercise-induced \nchanges of cardiovascular parameters in normal young volunteers. \nEffects of Deep breathing training on exercise-induced changes of cardiovascular parameters \nwere studied in nonnat young healthy student volunteers. Thirty-four college students were \ndivided randomly into two groups of 17 each. Experimental group practiced Deep Breathing \nExercise daily 15 minutes in the morning and evening. The control group did not do breathing \ntraining. Breathing exercise was done for three weeks. Basal recording was done on the first \nday and at the end of first week, second week and third week. The recording was repeated \nafter deep breathing training. Recording was done before and after physical exercise. The \nparameters recorded were SBP, DBP and HR. PP, MAP and RPP were calculated from these \nvalues. \nIt was noticed that after deep breathing exercise there was a gradual decrease in SBP, PP, \nMAP, and RPP. But there were no noticeable changes in DBP and HR. This is because the \ndeep breathing exercise enhances the parasympathetic activity and slows down the \nsympathetic activity.
