The aim of the present study is to determine the impact of yogasanas, pranayama, and meditation on the breath-holding time of high school boys. The sample for the study comprises 80 boys between the ages of 14 and 16 years. The sample was further divided into two groups: (I) Experimental Group (40) and (II) Control Group (40). The subjects of the Experimental Group went through a yogasanas, pranayama, and meditation training for 12-week under the direct supervision of researchers. The control group was engaged in daily routine work. The subjects of both the groups were tested before and after the experimental period of 12-weeks. The data analyzed statistically by applying ANCOVA. The results show that there is a significant change in the breath-holding time as a result of the experimental training. Since the result has revealed that there is a significant difference, the hypothesis is accepted.
