A. S. Selvam, Dr. R. Elangovan

Abstract :

The present random group experimental study was designed to find out the effect of yogic practices with varma therapy on selected physiological variables among hypertensive middle aged men. It was hypothesized that there would be significant difference in yogic practices with varma therapy than the control group on physiological variables among hypertensive middle aged men. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty (30) hypertensive middle aged men residing in Chennai age between 40 to 50 years were selected randomly two groups, namely experimental group and control group of fifteen (15) subjects each. Training period of this study was twelve weeks. Experimental group underwent yogic practices with varma therapy for twelve (12) weeks, five days a week for a maximum of one hour in the morning. The control group was kept in active rest. The pre test and post test were conducted before and after the training for all two groups. To analyses the data (ANCOVA) test was used to find out the significant difference between experimental group and the control group. The test of significance was fixed as 0.05 level of confidence. It was concluded that there was significant improvement in yogic practices with varma therapy than the control group on Systolic blood pressure and Diastolic blood pressure among hypertensive middle aged men.
