Abstract

Daily Yoga activities are part of a ten-posture series with linked relaxation and aerobic exercise, resulting in a balancing of flexibility and extensions. Because this series is often repeated and advocated by several yoga professionals, structural modeling to justify its purported health advantages is needed. Older is recommended to do more workouts to maintain activity, given the increasing pressures in societal, economical, and health issues as a result of the elderly society. They are, regrettably, unable to do so due to a variety of physical and psychological obstacles. The whole body form changes significantly as people get older, and sag. One of the most important variables in regaining their drive and comfort throughout social activities might be the layout of their apparel. The impact of athletics on older is investigated in this study. Depending on rigid body movements and free-body diagrams, a numerical model is built for each position in the yoga exercises. The idea of static equilibrium is used to calculate the forces and moments that different joints experience. The model given in this study was developed under a variety of assumptions. But what is discovered in practice is that the knees carry the maximum joint action while the ankle and wrist are discovered to play a major part in transferring the ground response forces throughout yoga. Thus, it would imply that the model is a good tool for forecasting the forces and durations that happen not just during the yoga positions but also during other situations.
