The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of Pranayama and moderate exercise on Pulmonary Functions. Two groups of 30 volunteers (age group 18-25 yrs) were selected from the undergraduate male medical students.

Another group of the subjects were labeled as Exercise group and were asked to perform moderate exercise. They had to do pranayama practice and exercise daily for about 20 minutes. The observations were recorded by MEDSPIROR, in the form of FVC, FEV1, PEFR, FEV1/ FVC and MVV on day -1, after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of planned intervention (pranayama or moderate exercise). There were significant increases in PFT parameters in both the group at the end of 8 weeks but results were significantly high with P value (< 0.05) in the Mean change + SD was observed in the Pranayama group as compared to that of the exercise group.
