Effect of asanas on leg explosive power in differently abled students

Abstract

Effect of asanas and pranayama on leg explosive power among sixty students belonging to 15 to 18 years of age affected with Down syndrome was evaluated. The students were grouped into Group I and Group II consisting of thirty students each. Asana-s practices were assigned for twelve weeks to the Group II. There was no Asanas and Pranayama on programme assigned to Group I. All the data were collected before and after the test and subjected to statistical analysis using‘t’ ratio. The study revealed that the practice of Asanas significantly increased the leg explosive power of differently abled students.
