Investigation On The Changes Of Peak Flow Expiratory Rate Due To Yogic Practices On Asthmatics Adolescent Boys

Abstract

This study was find about investigation on the changes on peak flow expiratory rate and breath holding due to yogic practices among asthmatic adolescent boys. To achieve the purpose of the study, 60 asthmatic adolescent boys only from Chennai, aged between 13 and 19 years, were selected.  The selected sixty subjects were randomly divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each, out of which group – I (n = 30) underwent yogic practices pack programme and group – II remained as control. The training period for the present study was six days per week for twelve weeks. Prior to and after the training period the subjects were tested for peak flow expiratory rate and breath holding. The statistical tool were used for the present study is ‘t’ test RMANOVA. The result of the study was significant improvement on peak flow expiratory rate and breath holding after twelve weeks of yogic practices programme. However the improvement was favour of experimental group. There was a significant difference was occurred between yogic practices group and control group after twelve weeks of yogic practices pack programme.
