Abstract
The purpose of the
study was to find out the effect of yoga therapy on biochemical variables among
diabetic patients. The objective of the study is to determine the blood sugar,
triglycerides and total cholesterol of diabetic patients and the effect of yoga
asana on these variables. To achieve the purpose of the study, twelve middle
aged men diabetic patients were selected from Tuticorin district. The age of
the subjects was ranged from 45-65 years. The subjects performed selected yoga
asana in the morning time for 30 – 40 minutes every day for 40 days which was
given by the yoga expert. The biomechanical variables such as blood sugar,
triglycerides and total cholesterol were selected as dependent variables. The
selected variables were estimated before and after the yogic program of 40 days
with the help of qualified Lab Technician. The single group pre and post test
random group design was used as experimental design. The dependent “t” test was
applied to determine the difference between the means of diabetic patients. The
level of confidence was fixed at .05 levels. The result of the study shows that
there was a significant reduction in blood sugar, triglycerides and total
cholesterol between pre and post test. It was concluded that, there was a
significant improvement on blood sugar, triglycerides and total cholesterol
among diabetic patients due to yoga therapy. Hence it is recommended that,
similar study may be attempted by changing the hematological variables, may be
attempted by the state or national level young aged men and women, may be
conducted for the cardiac patients.
