Abstract
Objective of the study is to find out the effect of surya namaskar with the intensity of two minutes per repetitions for three weeks on selected variables i.e. strength endurance, flexibility and body fat percentage. Procedure and Methodology: twenty male subjects (students) age ranging from 13 to 15 years were randomly selected for the purpose of the study. Strength Endurance, Flexibility and Body Fat Percentage was selected as the dependent variables. The pre-test and post-test randomized group design was used. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups i.e. Experimental Group (10nos) and control group (10 nos). Experiment Group was given Yoga Intervention with the intensity of two-minute pace per surya namaskar for three weeks. All the subjects were tested prior and after 3 (three) weeks of surya namaskar training with intensity of two minute on selected variables i.e. strength endurance, flexibility and body fat percentage. The descriptive statistics such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, maximum and minimum was used and to find out the significant difference of the means between groups the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was employed at .05 level of significance. Results: The adjusted mean of experimental and control group on selected variables are as follows; 50.82 and 46.78 times in one minute for strength endurance (sit up), 16.90 and 14.80 inches for flexibility (sit and reach) and 15.18 and 15.81 percent for body fat percentage respectively. Conclusion: The three weeks of surya namaskar training with the intensity of two minute can bring significant improvements on strength endurance and flexibility. But the insignificant difference was exit on fat percentage, and concluded that the three weeks of surya namaskar training with the intensity of two minute is good enough to bring the significant improvement on strength endurance and flexibility but not enough to bring the significant improvement on fat percentage of the school students.References
