Effect of yogic exercises on stress and aggression among the adolescents

Abstract

An attempt has been made to investigate the Effect of Yogic Exercises on Stress and Aggression among the Adolescents. Fifty male students of U.G. college level were practiced different types of yogic exercises like Surya Namaskar, Asanas, Pranayam and Meditation for eight weeks by maintaining a schedule. Stress was measured by stress questionnaire designed by the International Stress Management Association. Aggression was measured by Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire. In results, it was found that there was significant difference between pre-test and post-test. So, it was evident that yogic exercises impact significantly on stress and aggression among the adolescents.
