yogic practice on selected physiological variables of school boys. Thirty healthy, above
weight untrained boys were selected from Pondicherry and their age ranged between 14
to 16 years. The subjects were equally divided into two groups namely experimental
group and control groups. The experimental groups underwent yoga practice for forty
five minutes duration in selected asana, pranayama and meditation, for ten weeks except
Sunday. Control group was kept under control without any training. BMI and respiratory
pressure were measured through scientific physiological instruments. Prior to and at the
end of practice period all the subjects were tested on selected physiological variables.
The results of pre and post test were statistically treated by using analysis of variance. To
find out the impact of yogic practice on selected physiological variables the 'F' ratio test
value was statistically analysed and tested for significant difference at 0.05 level of
confidence. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : S.PALANI AND R. SENDHIL, (2013). EFFECT OF EVERYDAY YOGIC PRACTICE ON SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES OF SCHOOL BOYS.
