Introduction

Yoga practice is the common sense answer to overall physical and mental fitness. Yoga has an alternate way to deal with practicing where one needs to focus on both body and psyche. Then again, practice is just to perform numerous quick reputations of the movements. The fundamental subject is to sweat plentifully with general distress and weariness. In physical exercise it isn't critical to focus on what the psyche is thinking insofar as body is executing the required exercise. Be that as it may, in Yoga one is cognizant is completely focusing on every one of the developments of activity. We got included absolutely in what precisely we are doing. One fells what is going on in the body at each phase of holding and additionally extending and discharging. Felling of incitement and discharging vitality inside you is the aftereffect of profound focus on the developments. Your pulse is your heart rate, or the circumstances your heart pulsates in one moment. Pulse rates differ from individual to individual. Your Pulse is bring down when you are very still and increments when you work out (more oxygen-rich blood is required by the body when you work out). Your pulse rises to meet the demands of activity, then recovers as you rest. The degree of increase and decrease in pulse, and the speed of recovery increases as you get fitter. Yoga leads to improve balance, pulse rate, stamina etc.

Objective

• The main objective of the study is to know the effect of selected yogic practice on pulse rate of university students.

Hypothesis

• It was hypothesized that there would be no significant effect of selected yogic practice on pulse rate of university students.

Methodology

• 25 male university students of Punjabi University, Patiala were randomly selected as sample.
• The age of the university students was ranging 18 to 28 years as the subject for the purpose of the study.
• Yogic practice was restricted to Surya Namskar, Sukhasan, Padmasan, Siddhasan, Vajrasan, Tadasan, Ardha Chandrasan,

Figure no 1:-MEAN COMPARISSION OF PULSE RATE PRE AND POST TEST

Result

Collected data of pulse rate were converted into t-score and determine the composite score of university students. To determine the effect of selected yogic practice on pulse rate of university students paired samples t-test were applied. The level of significance was set 0.05 for testing the hypothesis.

Findings of table no 1 reveal that there are significant mean difference in pulse rate between the mean of pre and post-test of experimental group as the calculated t-ratio of 2.23* respectively are higher than the tabulated t-ratio value of 2.00 respectively at 0.05 level for 24 degree of freedom respectively.

Discussion

The finding of table no 1 are that there was significant improvement in pulse rate of (pre and post) experimental group. This signifies that due to 2 week of selected yogic practice brought fruitful result within the subject of experimental group. It may be attributed to the fact that selected yogic practice given to the selected university student’s decrease their pulse rate level.

CONCLUSION

• Significant difference was found in pulse rate level of experimental group (pre and post) due to selected yogic practice.
