1. Last Sentence in the Abstract
Present version: However, we noted a significant fall in the
diastolic blood pressure immediately after performing the
isotonic exercise for five minutes, in Vata-Kapha individuals
in comparison to the other two groups, namely, Pitta-Kapha
and Vata-Pitta.
To be corrected as: However, we noted that the rise in
diastolic blood pressure recorded immediately after perform-
ing the isotonic exercise for five minutes was significantly
minimal in Vata-Kapha individuals in comparison to the
other two groups, namely, Pitta-Kapha and Vata-Pitta.
2. Last Sentence in the Observations Section
Present version: This means that the fall in DBP was signif-
icant in VK group in comparison to VP and PK groups.
To be corrected as: This means that the rise in DBP was
significantly minimal in VK group in comparison to VP and
PK groups.
3. First Sentence in the Last Paragraph of
the Discussion Section
Present version: A significant fall in DBP among Vata-Kapha
individuals, recorded immediately after performing the iso-
tonic exercise for five minutes, in comparison to Pitta-Kapha
and Vata-Pitta individuals is another observation that is
noteworthy.
To be corrected as: A significantly minimal increase in
DBP among Vata-Kapha individuals, recorded immediately
after performing the isotonic exercise for five minutes, in
comparison to Pitta-Kapha and Vata-Pitta individuals is
another observation that is noteworthy.
4. Fifth Sentence in the Last Paragraph of
the Discussion Section
Present version: As the study suggests, vasodilatation and
resultant fall in peripheral resistance predominates among
Vata-Kapha individuals after the isotonic exercise in compar-
ison to the other two groups.
To be corrected as: As the study suggests, vasodilatation
predominates among Vata-Kapha individuals after the iso-
tonic exercise in comparison to the other two groups.
5. Second Sentence in the Summary and
Conclusion Section
Present version: Though, the study indicates that the basic
cardiovascular responses do not significantly vary in accor-
dance with the dual constitutional types of Ayurveda, it
suggests that the fall in DBP recorded immediately after
performing the isotonic exercise for five minutes varies
significantly in relation to Prakriti groups and this fall is

significant among VK group in comparison to VP and PK

groups.
To be corrected as: Though the study indicates that the
basic cardiovascular responses do not significantly vary in
accordance with the dual constitutional types of Ayurveda,
it suggests that the increase in DBP recorded immediately
after performing the isotonic exercise for five minutes varies
significantly in relation to Prakriti groups, and this increase
is significantly minimal among VK group in comparison to
VP and PK groups.
