Abstract

Objectives: The present study was conducted to examine the influence of Yogasana and Pranayama practices on flexibility among male school students.

Method: For this purpose, thirty male school students were selected from schools of Uttar Pradesh and randomly divided into three groups, namely Yogasana group (n = 10), Pranayama group (n = 10), and Control group (n = 10). A pre-test–posttest experimental design was employed. Flexibility was assessed using the Sit and Reach Test before and after a twelve-week training programme. The Yogasana group and Pranayama group underwent their respective training programmes for twelve weeks, while the Control group did not participate in any special training.

Results: The collected data were analysed using One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results revealed a significant improvement in flexibility among the Yogasana and Pranayama groups compared to the Control group.

Conclusion: It was concluded that Yogasana and Pranayama practices are effective in improving flexibility among male school students.
