Methods: To achieve the purpose of the study 30 school boys were selected Sri Sowdeshwari Vidyalaya Higher Secondary .School, Coimbatore. Their aged of the subject ranged from 11 to 14 years. Selected subjects was randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=15), group I underwent silambam practice after yogic practice (SPAYP) and group II acted as control group (CG). The silambam practice after yogic practice was given to the experimental group for 6days per week for the period of 12 weeks. The control group did not practice in any training except their routine work. The following variables were measured with standard test items: Breath Holding Time (nose clip) and Resting Pulse rate (bio monitor). Pre and post test was conducted on separate days with warm up.

Result: The data was analyzed by applying dependent ‘t test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The Silambam Practice after yogic practices had positive impact on resting heart rate and breath holding time among school boys.The result of the present study heart rate and breath holding time speculated significant improvement due to the silambam practice after yogic practice of school boys.

Conclusion: A school-based intervention focused on increasing active commuting to school was associated with increases in rates of Silambam after yogic practice to school among boys, However, the school-based intervention avoided increases in rates of passive commuting in the experimental group, which were significantly increased the control group.
