Impact of yogic asanas on the health related physical fitness of students of agricultural biotechnology college

Abstract

The study was conducted to find out the Impact of Yogic Asanas on the Health Related Physical Fitness of Students of Agricultural Biotechnology College. The Present study was conducted on 40 students. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 25 years. The Girls were divided into two equal groups 1.Experimental Group 2) Control Group on the basis of the mean performance of pre-test score. This training programme was of 6 week having 5 days a week. 't'-test was employed. 1 min Bent Knee Sit-ups (t = 0.964), Sit & Reach Test (t = 0.034) and Body Mass Index (t = 0.136), as calculated t-values are less than the tabulated t-value. Significant difference observed in pretest and posttest of Experimental group in 1 min Bent Knee Sit-ups (t = 4.161), and Sit & Reach Test (t = 2.168). Insignificant difference found in Body Mass Index (t = 0.308) which is less than the tabulated t-value of 2.093 at 0.05 level of confidence of 19 degree of freedom. Significant difference observed in posttest of Control and Experimental group in, 1 min Bent Knee Sit-ups (t = 2.104), and Sit & Reach Test (t = 2.331), Insignificant difference found in Body Mass Index (t = 0.255) which is less than the tabulated t-value of 2.093 at 0.05 level of confidence of 19 degree of freedom.
