Abstract
The purpose of the
study was to find out the effect of pranayama and yogasana on lipoprotein
profile in diabetic patients. The objective of the study is to determine the
high density and low-density lipoprotein 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 35-45 years. The subjects performed
pranayama and selected yoga asana in the morning time for 30 – 40 minutes every
day for 40 days which was given by the yoga expert. High density lipoprotein
and low-density lipoprotein 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 improvement in both low- and high-density lipoprotein
content between pre and post test. 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, and may be conducted for
the cardiac patients.
