ABSTRACT:
Volume of oxygen maximum uptake (VO2 max) is utilize during intense exercise, serving as a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. The main objective of this study was to do a systematic review to examined the effects of pranayama intervention on volume of oxygen maximum uptake. Data was collected from PubMed, JSTORE and Web of Science. Randomized controlled trials published in English from the inception of the database until 31st September, 2025, were included. Only pranayama as intervention were included in the study. The Pranayama intervention also had a significant effect on VO2 max. It may be concluded that pranayama can be elicited significantly improvement in the VO2 max that may be due to increase in aerobic capacity.
