Introduction:

            In ancient times various bodily movements were performed as a necessary movement of the body. Not all of it was done as part of physical education but for the need of life as well as for entertainment. And it was a kind of physical education in the ancient time. The goal of physical education is to develop the personality of the child. This development of a child includes physical, intellectual, mental and social development etc. All these factors have lot of significance in physical education.

          The movement of human life starts from this embryonic stage. The human body is made up of a single cell. This is mainly done through movement. The flexibility in the movement of human beings helps to the greater their growth. It is therefore important to exercise the right body movements at the right age. It is important to study physical and mental changes.

          Modern intellectual development is a means of physical, mental and social development. Naturally, physical education and sports have proved to be an integral part of education. As you are familiar with reading "Sharirmadh-Khal-Dharma Sadhanam", there is no need to explain the importance of body health and body maintenance in life. But in view of this importance, in ancient physical education, physical development is considered to be one of the goals of education. Researcher Plato emphasized physical education at an early stage in his education plan.

Research Problem:

              “A Study of the effects of Suryanamaskar training program on boys’ physical flexibility in the age group of 12 to 14”

The Importance of research:

• There will be an increase in various capabilities in the sports sector.
• The training program selected in the study can be used by sports teachers at different levels.
• Athletes can use new techniques in sports and sports training methods.

          Aim:

                   To evaluate the effects of Suryanamaskar training program on boys’ physical flexibility.

Hypothesis:

          The Suryanamaskar training program shows the difference in the boys’ physical flexibility of children.

Limitations:

• The students are from Maratha High School, Satana.
• The age group of the students is 12 to 14 years.
• The students are boys.
• The training period is 6 weeks.

Research Procedures:

A total of 40 selected boys were divided into two equal groups. Then 20 boys were randomly selected from the controlled group and experimental groups. The experimental group was given an hour of Surynamskar every day as per the research schedule. After a period of six weeks, waist elasticity was measured and recorded on the basis of sit and rich boxes as per the previous test of both groups. Regular practice of the control group was conducted.

Experimental design:

All 20 boys will be trained in Surynamskar for six weeks by taking warm up on the school premises.

Sample Method:

The researcher used an experimental method called random sampling to select the boys’ sample for the research.

Statistical method:

The statistical method of median, standard deviation and t value obtained after the completion of this research was used.

“Comparative table of Control group”

        (sing. level .005)

“Comparative table of Experimental group”

        (sing.level .005)

The result of the hypothesis:

The Suryanamaskar training program showed a significant increase in the physical fitness of the boys in the experimental group.

Conclusion:

The boys of the experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in resilience after Suryanamaskar training compared to the control group.

Recommendations:

• This research can also be experimented on girls.
• It should be done at different ages.
• Different types of exercise should be improved.
