Abstract:
The objectives of the study were to determine the effect of Surynamaskar on flexibility and to compare effect of different pace of Suryanamaskar on flexibility. Pretest-posttest group design was used for this study. Three groups were created, two experimental group and one control group. 15 girls were in each group in the age range of 16 – 18 years, out of 45 girls only 30 girls were able to complete total six weeks practices. First experimental group preformed Suryanamaskar with 2 minutes pace, second experimental group performed with 4 minute pace and third served as a control group. Total treatment duration was six weeks. Flexibility was measured by sit and reach test before (pretest) and after (posttest) the treatment pried of all three groups. To determine the effect of Suryanamaskar on flexibility of school girls analysis of covariance was used and level of significance was set at 0.05. In relation of flexibility, a significant improvement (P < 0.05) was found in both pace 2 and pace 4 at the end of six weeks of practice.
