Abstract
Yogic exercises and Calisthenics are creative, fun and very challenging patterns of movement, that is, on and off calithenics can challenge the legs, foot steps and arms also. The aim of this research is to find out the influence of calisthenics exercises on selected physiological variables among obese women. For this purpose, randomly selected thirty obese women from different places of Chidambaram, Tamilnadu were divided into three groups, calisthenics exercises, yogic practices and control group. Calisthenics exercise group after a warm up for 5 minutes underwent calisthenics exercises such as free hand exercises in the various serious and finished each session with cool down exercises. Yogic practices also after a warm up for 5 minutes underwent different types of yogic practices such as asanas, pranayamas, meditation and finished each session with yogic cool down practices and the sessions lasted for 40 minutes in each day, on alternate days, forming three days a week. Statistical analysis of pre and post test means through ANCOVA and Scheffe’s post hoc test proved that there was significant improvement in selected physiological variables such as vital capacity and tidal volume due to calisthenics exercises and yogic practices. It was concluded that calisthenics exercises and yogic practices can be better utilized for improving physiological variables, especially among obese women.
