ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of yogic practices on physiological, biochemical and psychological variables among type II Diabetes mellitus persons. To achieve the purpose of the present study, 40 diabetes mellitus persons were selected as subjects and their ages ranged from 40 to 45 years. The analysis of variance was used to analyze the data of the control and experimental groups, between the stages, namely pretest and posttest. Statistical computation as mentioned by Clarke and Clarke was used. The groups were selected at random and not equated in any way in relation to the variables selected for the study. The level of significance to the T-ratio, obtained by the analysis of variance was fixed at 0.5 level of confidence, which was considered to be appropriate in view of the fact that highly sophisticated equipments were not used for more stringent level of significance. The results of the study reveal that there was significant change in blood glucose, HDL, BP and stress levels of experimental group as compared to control group after completion of the training period.
