ABSTRACT:
The present study investigated the effects of 4-weeks Anulom Vilom pranayama program on aerobic fitness of young Girls. For this study thirty, university level girls of Department of Physical Education (T), Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar between the age group of 21 - 26 years volunteered to participate in the study. The subjects were purposively assigned into two groups: Group-A: Experimental (n₁ = 15), Group-B: Control (n₂ = 15). Experimental group was subjected to 4-weeks of Anulom Vilom Pranayama. All the subjects were informed about the objective and protocol of the study. The Mean and Standard Deviation values of aerobic fitness of pre-test and post-test of experimental group was 33.6067 ± 1.8510 and 33.5067 ± 1.8611 respectively. However, the Mean and Standard Deviation values of aerobic fitness of pre-test and post-test of control group were 33.7733 ± 1.6918 and 33.6600 ± 1.7125. In experimental group the observed effect size d is medium, 0.64 and in control group the observed effect size d is large, 0.71 the data does suggest that the differences between pre-test and post-test of aerobic fitness in experimental and control group are statistically significant.
