Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the “Effect of asana practice and walking programme on diastolic blood pressure of school boys”. To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty 45 school boys from Govt. Higher secondary school from Thiruppathur Sivagangai district, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 14 to 17 years. Group I acted as Experimental Group I (Asana practice), Group II acted as Experimental Group II (Walking programme) and Group III acted as Control Group.

The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subjects (N=45) were randomly assigned to three equal groups of fifteen subjects each. Pre test was conducted for all the subjects on selected physiological variables. This initial test scores formed as pre test scores of the subjects. Experimental Group I was exposed to Asana practice, Experimental Group II was exposed to Walking program and Control Group was not exposed to any experimental training other than their regular daily activities. The duration of experimental period was 6 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the forty five subjects were tested on their 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.
