Material and Methods: In this study, we employed a quasi-experimental design involving sixty healthy volunteer female participants with the following demographics (Mean ± SD): age 24.00±1.79 years, body height 159.12±5.43 cm, and body weight 52.97±7.62 kg. The participants were enrolled from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. They were divided into two groups: Group-A (n₁=30) received the Pranayama Intervention (PI), while Group-B (n₂=30) served as the control. The sample size (N=60) was determined using G*Power 3.1.9.7 software, with a power of 0.80 (1-β err prob) and a significance level (α) of 0.05. Baseline and post-12-week assessments were conducted for both groups, with Group-A receiving the pranayama intervention and Group-B serving as the untreated control group.

Results:When comparing the Pranayama Intervention (PI) group with the control group, the 12-week Pranayama intervention program did not yield a significant impact on bone integrity within the PI group.

Conclusion:In conclusion, our study demonstrates that a 12-week Pranayama training regimen did not result in significant improvements in bone health measures, including bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers. This outcome challenges existing assumptions and underscores the necessity for additional research to thoroughly assess the effectiveness of Pranayama and other interventions that may be included in enhancing bone health.
