Abstract

The aim of the random group experimental study was to find the effect of yoga therapy with sattvic diet on endometrial thickness among reproductive girls suffering with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. To achieve the purpose of the study, 45 were screened using Rotterdam Criteria and 30 were finally selected randomly by using randomized control sampling method. It was hypothesised that there would be significant differences on endometrial thickness due to yoga therapy with Sattvic Diet than the control group. The subjects (30) were divided into an experimental group (Yoga Therapy with Sattvic Diet) and control group of 15 subjects each. Experimental group was imparted training for 24 weeks, six days a week and the control group was in active rest with their regular activities. The pre-test and post-test were conducted before and after the intervention for the experimental and control group and the scores on endometrial thickness was measured. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences among the groups.
