ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was investigating the effect of Yogic exercise on selected physiological variables of College men students. For the purpose of this study, thirty subjects were randomly selected from the Ramco Institute of Technology, Rajapalayam. Hostel students were selected as subjects for the study and divided into two equal groups. Group – I (n=15) acted as control group and Group – II (n=15) acted as Experimental group. Control group maintained their daily routine activities and no special training was given to them. Experimental group underwent Yogic exercise for 6 weeks under the supervision of investigator. The age of the subjects ranged from 18-20 years. Physiological variables such as Vital Capacity and Resting Pulse Rate after the training period (6 weeks). Analysis of covariance [ANCOVA] was used to find out the significant difference if any, between control and experimental groups on selected Physiological variables of College men students. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 levels to test the significance. From the results of the study it was concluded that there was a significant difference in Vital Capacity and Resting Pulse Rate between Control and Experimental groups of College Men Students.
