Description :
The three classes of levers were found to be very useful for doing yogasanas
and the exercise in
gym. It was found that the effects observed by adjusting the body postures in particular yogasanas are
similar to that produced after performing regular gym exercise. The tension produced in the particular
muscle or muscle contraction
while doing the exercise improved the health of the persons performing
both yogasanas and gym exercise. Both isometric and isotonic contractions of muscles were observed
when yogasanas or gym exercises were performed. The seated dumbbells triceps extensi
on, calf raises
and seated dumbbells biceps curl exercise resulted in developing the triceps brachii, calf muscles and
biceps muscles respectively where class I, class II and class III lever systems were used. Without any gym
equipments or any other costly
tools the similar benefits were observed in the persons doing yogasanas
like utthit padmasan (elevated lotus posture), tadasana (palm tree pose), chaturang dandasana. Also, it
was found that the yogasana exercise is more beneficial for common man in every
aspect as compared to
gym exercise. The profession body builders are advised to perform yogasanas along with gym exercise to
get the additional benefits of yogasanas.
