Abstract :

The purpose of the random group experimental study is to investigate the effect of Yogic Practice with and without the diet modification on the selected psychological variables among the middle aged Type II diabetic men. It is hypothesized that there would be significant differences on the selected psychological variables due to Yogic Practices with and without diet modification among the middle aged Type II diabetic men than the control group. The study is confined to Type II diabetic men. The subjects are from Chennai. The age of the subjects are ranged from 40 – 50 years. The independent variables are Yogic Practices with and without diet modification. The selected dependent variables are Psychological variable namely self-confidence and adjustment only. Random group experimental design is used. Random sampling method is followed to select the subjects.120 Middle aged diabetic men come forward, 90 patients are found with Type II diabetes and finally 60 diabetic men are selected randomly. Three groups, 20 each are formed as a Yogic Practice With Diet Modification (YPWDG) Yogic Practice Without Diet Modification (YPWODG) and Control group (no treatment but in active rest – CG). Treatment is given for 12 weeks, 6 days a week, an hour daily maximum in this random group experimental design for the experimental groups. Pre-tests were conducted initially for all the groups on selected dependent variables. Post-tests are conducted for all the groups on the selected dependent variables. Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) is used to assess the significant differences among the groups between the pretest and posttest. The normality of the data collected is tested through the Standard statistical procedures, F test (ANCOVA). The results proved that there are significant differences due to the Yogic practice with diet modification (YPWDG) and Yogic practice without diet modification (YPWODG) on the selected Psychological variables such as Self-confidence (improved) and Adjustment (improved) than the Control group (CG).
