Physiological Variables such as Cardio respiratory endurance and Vital capacity were selected as criterion variables and they were tested by using Cooper’s 12 minutes run/walk test and spirometer respectively. ANCOVA was used to find out the significant difference if any between the groups. The results of the study showed that there was a significant differences on cardio respiratory endurance and vital capacity between experimental group and control group and also there was a significant improvement on cardio respiratory endurance and vital capacity due to eight weeks of combination of selected yogic practices and aerobic exercises.
