Abstract

The goal of the present study was to find out the effect of aerobic and yogic exercises on body composition. To achieve this purpose, forty five untrained students were selected from department of Arts & Science, Annamalai University, and Chidambaram TamilNadu. The subject’s age ranged from 18 to 21 years.  They were segregated into three groups, each group consisting of fifteen subjects with two experimental groups and one control group. Aerobic exercise and yogic exercise were selected as independent variables. The body composition was selected as dependent variable. Experimental group-I underwent the selected aerobic exercises and experimental group-II underwent the selected yogic exercises. The training period were weekly five classes for twelve weeks.  The collected data were statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). When the F ratio of the adjusted post-test mean was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was employed to find out the paired mean difference. All the data were analyzed using SPSS statistical package. The level of significance was set at 0.05 level. The results of the study shows that the aerobic exercise and yogic exercise groups reveals significant improvement influenced in body composition as compared to the control group. The body composition of aerobic exercise group is better than the yogic exercise group.
