The subjects selected for this study were divided into two groups of fifteen subjects each. The experimental group I underwent yoga training and group II acted as a control group. The subjects were exposed to a yoga training programme for six weeks. The training programmes were organized in a progressive manner. The obtained data from the experimental and control groups initial and final readings were statistically analyzed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
