Abstract
The purpose of the study was to find out the beneficial effects of meditative practices and selected asana practices on stress management among working women. To achieve this purpose thirty working women were selected as subjects randomly from different places of Chidambaram, Tamilnadu, their aged ranged between 35-45. The selected subjects were divided into three equal groups of ten subjects each, namely Group – I – Meditative Practices Group , Group – II, Asana practices Group and Group – III - Control Group. Experimental groups were trained for three alternative days in a week for twelve weeks with their specific training. Stress was selected as dependent variable and it was tested prior to and immediately after the 12 weeks of meditative practices and asana practices programmes by using Stress Inventory Scale (Questionnaire method) respectively. The ANCOVA was applied to find out the significant difference in each criterion variables, if any, among the groups. Since, three groups were compared, whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio for the adjusted post test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to determine the paired mean differences, if any, was used. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant beneficial improvement on stress due to perform meditative practices and asana practices groups as compared to control group.
