SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES RESPONSE TO THE INFLUENCE OF YOGA PRACTICES AFTER PLYOMETRIC TRAINING FOR MALE PLAYERS

This researcher investigated the selected physiological variables response to the influence of yoga practices after ploymetric training for male players. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 south zone inter university participated male players (football & hockey) were selected from Kalasalingam University, Krishnankoil, Tamilnadu, India. The subjects was randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=15). Group- I underwent yoga practices after plyometric training (YPAPT) and group - II was acted as control group (CG). The yoga practices after plyometric training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for the period of twelve weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training except their routine work. The selected physiological variables of vital capacity (wet spirometer), resting pulse rate (radial pulse) and breath holding time (holding breath test for time) were measured. Before and after training period the data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with‘t’ rest to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the vital capacity, resting pulse rate and breath holding time speculated significant improvement due to influence of yoga practices after plyometric training with the limitations of ( diet, climate, life style ) status and previous training. The result of the present study coincide findings of the investigation done by different experts in the field of sports sciences. Influence of yoga practices after plyometric training significantly improved vital capacity, resting pulse rate and breath holding time of south zone inter university participated male players (football & hockey).
