The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of adapted Yogic practices on abdominal muscular endurance and flexibility levels concerning low back pain. To achieve this objective, thirty middle-aged male school teachers from the Pondicherry Region, aged between 35 to 40 years, were selected by the investigator. The participants were divided into two groups: An Experimental group and a Control Group. The Experimental group underwent yogic practices, whereas the Control group did not engage in any specific practices. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted for both groups. The Experimental group participated in one-hour sessions of adapted Yogic Practices, including Asanas and Pranayama, five days per week for eight weeks. Post-tests were administered after the completion of the eight-week training program.

The data collected were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANCOVA, and the F ratio was found to be significant. The results indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test outcomes. After the experimental group completed the training, all subjects were tested for abdominal muscle endurance and flexibility levels, with a significance level set at 0.05 to test the hypothesis.

Further analysis using analysis of variance (ANCOVA) revealed significant differences among the adjusted post-test means. The findings suggest that post-test results indicate increased abdominal muscular endurance and flexibility levels among the participants.
