Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of yogic packages and mobility training on selected physiological variables among volleyball players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, sixty men volleyball players from Kanyakumari district, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were divided into three equal groups of twenty players each. Group I acted as Experimental Group I (Yogic packages), Group II acted as Experimental Group II (Mobility training) Group III acted as control group. Pre test was conducted for all the subjects on selected physiological variables. This initial test scores formed as pre test scores of the subjects. The duration of experimental period was 12 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the subjects were tested on their physiological variables. This final test scores formed as post test scores of the subjects. The pre test and post test scores were subjected to statistical analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance among the mean differences, whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted test was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was used. In all cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed to test hypotheses. The yogic packages had shown significant differences on resting pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure than the mobility training and control groups.
