Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of pranayama with kriya practice on selected Respiratory physiological variables among asthmatic children. The study was conducted on 30 asthmatic children in totally two groups, namely, control & experimental group. Experimental group consisted of 15 asthmatic children. They underwent twelve weeks practice in pranayama with kriya practice whereas the control group did not under go any type of training. Respiratory physiological variables weremeasured before and after the experimentation using the standardized tests and standard/modified questionnaires. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and it was concluded that the pranayama with kriya practice had significant (P < 0.05) effect on respiratory physiological variables among asthmatic children.
