Description
Summary:Venugopal et al. raise few questions related to experimental design, analysis, and interpretation presented in the article "Yoga breathing techniques have no impact on isokinetic and isoinertial power" and seek authors' views on the same. Primarily, the rationale behind the hypothesis of an immediate increase in the isokinetic and isointerial power in a muscle group, which was not actually engaged during the intervention and that too with a mere exposure session of yogic breathing, is unclear. Despite acknowledging the limitations, the authors have overall interpreted that yoga does not have the possibility to help in strengthening muscle groups.
