Abstract :

Back Ground: - The purpose of the study was to compare BMI and Vital Capacity between Physical Education and

Yoga Students. Objectives of the study:-1) to characterize the level of BMI and Vital Capacity of Physical Education
and Yoga Students. 2) To compare BMI and Vital Capacity between Physical Education Students and Yoga Students. Materials and Methods:
- Total 30 students (15 from Physical Education students and 15 from Yoga Students) randomly were selected from D.A.V.V Indore as subject
for the purpose of the study. Static Group design was used. Statistical Techniques:-1) Descriptive statistics was used to characterize the level
of BMI and Vital capacity of Physical Education and Yoga Students.2) Independent T-test was used to compare BMI and Vital Capacity between Physical Education Students and Yoga Students. Results: - Physical Education students were having mean and SD (3229.53 ±619.70)
& (3459.3±373.4) and Yoga students were having mean and SD (18.8±1.30) & (19.6±1.40) in relation to Vital capacity and BMI respectively
and Calculated -t value was found 1.23 and 1.59 in relation to vital capacity and BMI . Conclusions: - 1) Physical education students were
having greater mean of vital capacity in comparison to Yoga students. 2) Yoga students were having greater BMI in comparison to Physical
education students. 3) Insignificant difference was found between Physical education and Yoga students in relation to Vital capacity and BMI
