Effect of Yoga Training on Vital Capacity

Abstracts

The aim: of the present study was to investigate the effect of yoga training on vital capacity among tribal and non-tribal school students and to compare the effect of yoga training on vital capacity between tribal and non-tribal school students. Methods: to achieve the aim of the study 10 tribal and 10 non-tribal school boy's students were randomly selected from seva Bharati Vidyatayan in Kapgari, Jhargram district in West Bengal.

The participants aged were ranged from 12 to 16 years. The all participants were underwent a yoga programme for 3 days per week for a period of 16 weeks.

The variable vital capacity was tested by wet spirometer and data was recorded in millilitre (ml).

The dependent t-test was applied to find out significant of yoga training and independent t-test was applied to compare the effect between tribal and non-tribal school students. Result: the vital capacity was significantly increase among tribal and non-tribal school students and when result was compared between tribal and non-tribal school students, there was no significant different.

The three months yoga training was increased the speed among secondary school students but when it compared with the physical exercise training the result shown the yoga training was better than physical exercise training for speed development.

Objective of the Study

• To find out effect of yoga training on vital capacity among tribal school students.
• To find out effect of yoga training on vital capacity among non-tribal school students.
• To compare the effect of yoga training on vital capacity between tribal and non-tribal school students.

Hypothesis

• There would be significant different of yoga training on vital capacity among tribal and non-tribal school students.
• There would be no significant differentof yoga training on vital capacitybetween tribal and non-tribal school students.

Methodology

To achieve the aim of the study 10 tribal and 10 non-tribal school boy's students were included in present study.The participants were selected from Seva Bharati Vidyatayan in Kapgari, Jhargram district in West Bengal and there aged were ranged from 12 to 16 years. The random sampling method was used to select the participants.

The participants both tribal and non-tribal were underwent a specific yoga training programme for three days per weeks fora period of 16 weeks. The dependent variable vital capacity was tested by wet spirometer and data was recorded in millilitre (ml).

The depend t-test was applied to find out the significant of yoga training on vital capacity among tribal and non-tribal school students and independent t-test was applied to compare the effectof yoga training on vital capacity between tribal and non-tribal school students. The level of significant was set at 0.05 levels. The data were calculated by Microsoft Excel 2007.

Group Pre Test (Mean ± SD) Post Test (Mean ± SD) Mean Difference P value

Tribal 2340 ± 130.12 2730 ± 115.51 390 6.73

The significant set at 0.05, the level of confident 95% (df 9) = 1.83

The result of table 2 indicated the tribal subject's pre test and post test mean value of vital capacity was 2340 and 2730 respectively and p value 6.73 > 0.05 level of significant.

Non -tribal subjects pre test and post test mean value of vital capacity was 2350 and 2610 respectively and p value was 5.56 > 0.05 level of significant.
