Effects of yoga combined with floor aerobic exercises on high density lipo protein and low density lipo protien among school boys

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to effect of yoga combined with floor exercises on high lipo protein and low density lipoprotein among school boys. To achieve this purpose of the study only thirty school boys were selected in Nadar Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Usilampatti, Madurai as subjects. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each, such as yoga with floor aerobic exercises group and control group. The group I underwent yoga with floor exercise training programme for three days per week for twelve weeks. Group II acted as control who did not participate any special training programmes apart from their regular physical education activities as per their curriculum. The following variables namely high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were selected as criterion variables. All the subjects of three groups were tested on selected dependent variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme by using blood analysis. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant difference, if any between the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the “F” ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference between yoga with floor exercise group and control group on high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein.
