Lab objective

Overall, our lab’s research is focused on important topics that have the potential to contribute to our understanding of sports and exercise physiology. Our research objectives include designing a talent identification tool in sports including measures of cardiovascular and respiratory components, as well as genetic testing. We are also in a constant endeavor to explore the yoga asanas from a cardiorespiratory point of view. Yoga asanas have been shown to improve cardiovascular and respiratory function, however, our lab is working to understand their specific effects.

Current Research Interests

Currently we are focusing on fundamental and applied sports and exercise physiology responses in humans, which specifically includes –

  • Developing talent identification tool in sports with cardiorespiratory efficacy and genetic testing
  • Finding the effect of various exercise and training on cardio-respiratory functions and sports performance
  • Finding the effect of various asanas on cardio-respiratory functions and metabolic demand
