Abstract

The purpose of the random group experimental study was to find out the effect of yogic practices on selected physical variables among postpartum women. It was hypothesized that there would be significant difference on selected physical variables such as flexibility and body mass index. To achieve the purpose of the study twenty postpartum women from govt. hospital from Bangalore aged between 25 to 35 years were randomly selected and divided into two groups. One experimental group and one control group of 10 subjects each. Experimental group I underwent yogic practices for a period of eight weeks, three days in a week of 30min. then slowly increased to 60min.The control group II was not exposed to any specific training but in active rest. The pre-test and post-test was conducted before and after the training for both the groups. Flexibility and Body Mass Index was assessed through Sit and Reach and BMI. The data pertaining to the variables collected from the two groups before and after the training period was statistically analysed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to determine the significant difference and tested at 0.05 level of confidence.
