Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of yogic practices on forced vital capacity among young adult male.  For the purpose of the study, thirty young adult male from Madurai District were selected as subjects.  They were divided into two equal groups of fifteen each. Group I underwent yogic practices for three days a week for twelve weeks.  Group II acted as control who did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular activities. Forced vital capacity was selected as criterion variable.  All the subjects of two groups were tested on Forced vital capacity prior to and immediately after the training programme as pre and post tests respectively. The analysis of covariance [ANCOVA] was used to analyze the significant difference, if any among the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was a significant change on forced vital capacity due to yogic practices.
