Impact of yogic methods on selected physiological variables of school students

Abstract

This research was conducted with the intention of determining the manner in which different yoga practices altered certain physiological indicators within the context of a specific educational setting. It was expected that the practice of yoga would have a major impact on a number of physiological indicators, and we conducted research to see whether or not this hypothesis was incorrect. For the purpose of this investigation, forty students from Higher Secondary School in Kurukshetra, Haryana were chosen at random after being interviewed. Every single one of them was a participant, and their ages varied from thirteen to fifteen years old. In this investigation, both control and experimental groups were used by using a randomization strategy at both the pre-test and post-test stages. The researchers chose Group 'A' and Group 'B' as the ones to be researched after choosing twenty patients at random to be assigned to each of the two groups. Members of Group 'A' took part in yogic activities, but members of Group 'B' did not get any and all training related to yoga. Prior to and after the six weeks of instruction, it was determined that the data would be collected. With the use of a dependent t-test, we were able to examine the data. There was a threshold of 0.05 that we used for the significance level. Both the students' resting heart rates and the extent to which they were able to hold their breath for longer periods of time improved as a direct consequence of the yoga activities.
