The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of Simplified kundalini yoga on Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) among middle aged obese women. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences due to Simplified kundalini yoga on Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) among middle aged obese women than the Control group. For the purpose of the study, 30 middle aged obese women were selected randomly from Chennai between the age group of 40 and 50 years and were divided into two groups, the Experimental group and the Control group having 15 subjects each. Pre-tests were taken for all the subjects of the Experimental group and the Control group on Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) before the training program. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) were measured in a standardized laboratory. The Experimental group practiced Simplified kundalini yoga for twelve weeks, excluding Sundays and the Control group was given no training. After the experimental period of twelve weeks, post-tests were taken on Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) on both the groups.
