ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of “Yogasana” on selected psychological factors such as anxiety. To achieve this purpose, 80 students studying in the AISSMS Institute of Information Technology (AISSMS IOIT) were randomly selected as subjects. They were divided into two equal groups; group 1 underwent Yogasana training for 24 weeks and group 2 acted as control group; that did not undergo any special training program apart from their regular program. All subjects of both groups were tested on selected dependent variables for a period of 6 months before and immediately after the training program. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant difference, if any among the group. „T- Test for Equality of Means? and „Levene?s Test for Equality of Variances? was carried out on both the group. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between Yogasana group subjects and control group subjects for selected variables such as anxiety. And also it was found that there was a significant improvement on selected criterion variables due to Yogasana.

KEY WORD: Yogasana, Selected Psychology factor & Students . 

INTRODUCTION:

Yoga has a complete message for humanity. It has a message for the human mind and it has also message for the human soul with intelligence and capable youth came fourth carry this message to every individual not only in India, but also in every part of the word. 

Yogasana are simple action for keeping the internal and external part of the body in good health. No activity can be performed well so long as the internal and external part of the body is not in the good health. The body and mind are closely interred related. 

Objective of the Study:

The objective of the study was to know the effect of Yogasana on some selected psychological factor.  

Methodology:

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of the Yogasana on selected psychological factor such as anxiety. To achieve this purpose of the study 80 student Studying in the institute of Information technology were selected on the basic of random sampling method. They were divided in two equal groups. Each group consisted of the 40 subject. Group I underwent Yogasana per week for 24 weeks. Group II acted as control that did not undergo any special training program apart from their regular program me. The following variable namely anxiety criterion variables all the subject of two groups were tested on selected dependent variable at prior to immediately after training program. The analysis of covariance was used to analyses significant difference, if any among the group. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the „F? ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considerate as an appropriate.  

Statistical Analysis of the Data:

Anxiety: 

The analysis of covariance on Anxiety of the pre and post test score of Yogasana group and control have been analyzed and presented Table I

Table No. I: Analysis of Covariance of the Data on Anxiety of Pre and Post Test Scores of Yogasana and control groups  

Test	Yogasana Group	Control Group	Source of Variance	Sum      of Squares	Df	Mean Squares	Obtained „F? Ratio
Pre Test
Mean	18.2	17.9	Between	0.01	1	0.01	0.02
S.D	0.21	0.24	Within	11.51	28	0.41
Post Test
Mean	25.7	18.2	Between	119.64	1	119.64	291.80
S.D.	0.13	0.22	Within	11.41	28	0.41
Adjusted Post Test
Mean	24.9	18.1	Between	119.67	1	119.67	221.61
			Within	14.68	27	0.54

 

* Significant at 0.05 level of confidence 

(The table value required for significance at .05 level of confidence with df 1 and 28, 1 and 27 were 4.20 and 4.215 respectively)

The table I show that the adjusted post –test mean values of Yogasana group and control group are 25.7 and 18.2 respectively. The obtained “F” ratio of 37.48 for adjusted post-test means is greater than the required table value of 4.215 for df 1 and 27 required for significance at .05 level of confidence on flexibility

The results of the study indicated that there was a significant difference between the adjusted post-test means of Yogasana group and control group on Anxiety.

 

CONCLUSION:

On the basis of the analysis following conclusion drawn:

1. There was a significant difference between Yogasana group and control group on selected criterion variables such as long term memory and anxiety.
2. There was a significant improvement on selected criterion variable namely anxiety due to Yogasana.
