☐ yoga practitioners had the highest pain tolerance and lowest pain - related brain activity during the mri

☐ participants with fibromyalgia perceived pain at lower pressure levels

☑ people who have a poorly regulated response to stress are also more sensitive to pain

hatha yoga, the most common type of yoga practiced in the united states, combines three elements. (select all that apply)

☐ short period of deep relaxation or meditation

☐ physical poses, called asanas

☐ controlled breathing practiced in conjunction with asanascontrolled breathing practiced in conjunction with asanas

Explanation:

First Question (Mental and Physical Health Equivalence)

• For "Yoga practitioners had the highest pain tolerance and lowest pain - related brain activity during the MRI": Yoga practice (a mental/behavioral aspect) affecting pain tolerance (physical) and brain activity (mental - related) shows the link between mental (yoga, brain activity) and physical (pain tolerance) health.
• For "Participants with fibromyalgia perceived pain at lower pressure levels": Fibromyalgia is a physical condition, and pain perception involves mental processing. The lower pain perception threshold shows the interaction between physical (fibromyalgia, pressure levels) and mental (pain perception) aspects.
• For "People who have a poorly regulated response to stress are also more sensitive to pain": Stress response is a mental - related (psychological) factor, and pain sensitivity is a physical - related (sensory) factor. This shows the connection between mental (stress response) and physical (pain sensitivity) health.

So the correct options are:

• Yoga practitioners had the highest pain tolerance and lowest pain - related brain activity during the MRI
• Participants with fibromyalgia perceived pain at lower pressure levels
• People who have a poorly regulated response to stress are also more sensitive to pain

Second Question (Elements of Hatha Yoga)

Hatha yoga combines three elements: short period of deep relaxation or meditation (mental/relaxation aspect), physical poses (asanas, physical aspect), and controlled breathing practiced in conjunction with asanas (breathing - physical and mental - relaxation link). So all three options are correct.
