control Group. In the present study the following factors were selected as
variables physical variables grip strength and flexibility Physiological
variables, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Combination of
physical exercise and yogic exercise produced a significant development on grip
strength, flexibility, diastolic blood pressure, better than the physical
exercise and yogic exercise did, except systolic blood pressure. Physical
exercise produced a significant development on grip strength, resting diastolic
blood pressure, better than the yogic exercise did, except flexibility and
resting systolic blood pressure. Yogic exercise programme improved flexibility
better than the physical exercise programme could. The yogic exercise programme
improved resting systolic blood pressure better than the physical exercise and
combination of physical exercise and yogic exercise could. Combination of
physical exercise and yogic exercise programme improved resting systolic blood
pressure better than physical exercise programme could.
