Solitary and united effects of suryanamaskara and aerobic training on physical and physiological variables of women

Abstract

The prime purpose of the study is to find out the solitary and united effects of suryanamaskara and aerobic training on the physical and physiological variables of women. To meet the purpose, sixty (N=60) women students were selected at random, and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. Subjects were randomly assigned into four equal groups of fifteen (n=15) each. Group I underwent solitary suryanamaskara training, Group II underwent solitary aerobic training Group III underwent united suryanamaskara and aerobic training and Group IV controls. For the collection of data pre and post-tests were conducted on cardiorespiratory endurance, trunk flexibility, heart rate at rest and respiratory rate at rest. Criterion variables were measured by 12 minutes Coopers run/walk test, sit and reach test, bio-monitor and manual method respectively. The data was collected prior and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying ANCOVA. The level of confidence fixed at 0.05 level. The results of the study shows that three training groups have significantly influenced physical and physiological variables as compared to the control group.
