Abstract :
The purpose of the study is to investigate the changes on total cholesterol in response to yogic practices and physical exercises among middle aged men. To achieve the purpose of the study 45 middle aged men were selected as subjects. The subjects were selected in the age group of 40 to 45 years and they were randomly assigned into three equal groups of 15 each. Experimental group-I performed yoga practices, experimental group-II performed physical exercises and group III acted as control. The total cholesterol was selected as dependent variable. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation on selected dependent variable was statistically analyzed to find out the significant difference if any, by applying the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio value was found to be significant for adjusted post test means, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test. The result of the study produced significant changes in total cholesterol of the middle aged men due to yogic practices and physical exercises.
