Analysis the Intervention of Aerobic and Yogic Methods of Training on Selected Physiological Variables among Police Personals

Abstract

Introduction; Today in this fast-growing world the competencies for the survival have gone up and one must face lot of competitions. One might be very rich in materialistic sense. But keeping a healthy state of mind is very difficult due to the large number of problems of daily life.

The age of the subjects were ranged between 18 to 23 years. The selected subjects were divided in to three equal groups of fifteen subjects each. Group I underwent aerobic exercise training, Group II underwent yogic practice Training for three days per week for twelve weeks. Group III acted as control that did not participate in any training. The physiological variables such as breath holding time, resting pulse rate and vo2 max were selected as dependent variables and they were measured by stopwatch, digital blood pressure monitor and multi stage shuttle run test and the unit of measurement was recorded in seconds, mm/hg and ml/kg/min respectively. All the subjects of three groups were tested on selected dependent variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant different, if any among the groups. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance.
