Abstract:
The objective of the study was to determine the Yogic practices and detraining effects on Inter-Collegiate Women Cricket Players. To achieve the purpose, forty Inter-Collegiate Women Cricket Players from various colleges were selected at random. Their age ranged between 18 and 25. The selected subjects were divided in two equal groups of 20 each, namely Yogic practices group (YPG) and control group (CG), experimental group carried out 8 weeks of Yogic practices five days a week followed by 40 days of detraining, whereas control group (CG) maintained their routine activities and no special training was given. Muscular endurance by sit-ups was measured at base line and immediately after training and also during detraining period. The data collected from the two groups prior to and post experimentation were statistically analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) the data on post experimentation and detraining period (four cessation) of both groups were analyzed by two way (2 × 5) factorial ANOVA with last factor repeated measures, though yogic exercises improves Muscular endurance (4.81%) but the effect long lasts not more than 30 days of detraining.
