Abstract
Life style changes and urbanization have led to increasing proportions of many lung diseases. In general, with a reduction of regular exercises among young males, the vital capacity tends to decrease. This factor may increase the incidence of obstructive lung disease in the community. Yoga, a tradition, is known to influence lung function tests. The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of yogic practices on Vital capacity among university men students. The study was conducted on 30 university men students in totally two groups, namely, control & experimental group. Experimental group consisted of 15 university men students. They underwent six weeks of practice in yogic practices whereas the control group did not under go any type of training. Vital capacity was measured before and after the experimentation using the standardized tests. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) analyzed the data and it was concluded that the yogic practices had significant (P < 0.05) effect on vital capacity among university men students.we suggest a possible addition of regular yogic practices along with the curriculum among university students.
