Abstract:
The aim of the study was to compare the physiological variables namely resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose level, post parendial blood glucose level of college women. For the purpose of the study 80 college women students were selected as the subject. The age group of the subjects was ranged from 18-21 years. They were selected randomly. The subjects were further sub-divided into two groups namely Experimental Group-1 and Control Group-2. Each group consists of 40 subjects. Physiological variables were measured through the sphygmomanometer (B.P), stethoscope (R.H.R.), blood sample collect and measured through machine in the lab, breath holding time measured through beats / minute, vo2 max measured through queens college step test. For the comparison analysis of covariance was used and the significant level was set at 0.05 level of confidence. The study revealed significant increase in resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, post parendial blood glucose level. The result shows significant decrease in fasting blood glucose level, breath holding time, vo2 max the experimental groups as a result of 16 weeks progressive yogic training programme.
