Background: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of yoga protocol training on Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation Level (SpO2), Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure of school-going children belonging to Garhwal.

Objectives of the study: 1. To characterize the Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation Level (SpO2), Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure of school-going children belonging to Garhwal. 2. To study the effect of yoga protocol on mean scores of Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation Level (SpO2), Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure of school-going children belonging to Garhwal.

Material and Methods: For this purpose, a sample of forty-two (N=42) male adolescents of age ranging between 14 to 17 years were randomly selected from Saraswati Vidya Mandir Inter College, Srikot, Ganganali Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. All the participants were informed about the objectives and methodology of this study and they voluntarily participated in this experimental study. The study was restricted to Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation Level (SpO2), Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure variables. Respiratory Rate was measured through the Total number of exhalations or inhalations per minute and recorded number of breaths with the help of a stopwatch, Oxygen Saturation Level (SpO2) was measured through Pulse Oximeter, Systolic Blood Pressure, and Diastolic Blood Pressure was measured through Digital sphygmomanometer (mm/hg) respectively. Subjects were undergone 8 weeks. Six days in a week in the morning session with a maximum duration of 40 minutes training was given to the subjects. The subjects were evaluated before and after the 8 weak yoga protocol training programs.

Results: For evaluation of the data Paired sample t-test was applied. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results revealed significant differences between pre and post-tests of the experimental group in Respiratory Rate (t =2.30) and diastolic Blood Pressure (t =3.21), and the results did not reveal a statistically significant effect of yoga protocol on SpO2 (t-value=0.88) and Systolic Blood Pressure (t-value=0.83).

Conclusions: Based on the results it was concluded that the Yoga Protocol may effectively Increase SpO2, suggesting improved oxygen delivery and decreased DBP, indicating reduced stress and improved cardiovascular health. While SpO2 and Systolic Blood Pressure did not show a statistically significant difference, the observed effect size warrants further investigation with a larger sample size.
