Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to find out the influence of asana with meditation on selected hematological variables among residential school boys. To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty boys from Velammal Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Viraganoor, Madurai, Tamilnadu were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 15 to 17 years. The selected subjects are divided in to two groups. The experimental group underwent asana with meditation for six weeks. The control group was not undergone any training other than their daily routine. The criterion measures HDL and LDL were tested using enzymatic calorimeter method. The two groups were statistically analysed by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level.
