Abstract:
The study was formulated as a true random group design consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subjects (N=90) were randomly assigned to three equal groups of twenty males in each. The groups were designed as experimental group I – yogasanas training group, experimental group II – pranayamas training group and control group respectively. Pre-test was conducted for all the 90 subjects on setting and self-confidence variables. The experimental groups participated in respective training for a period of twelve weeks. The control group did not participate in any of the training programme. The post test was conducted on the above said dependent variables after experimental period for all the three groups. The difference between the initial and final scores on selected dependent variables were considered as the effect of respective independent variables. To test statistical significance, ANCOVA was employed. In all cases 0.05 level was fixed to test the hypothesis of this study.
