The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of breathing exercises on related physiological variables concerning long distance runners. To achieve the purpose of the present study, men long distance runners from city colleges, Chennai were selected as subjects randomly whose age ranged between 21 and 25 years. The subjects were divided into two groups of fifteen each. Group I acted as experimental group with breathing exercises, Group II acted as (control group). Pre tests were conducted for all the 30 subjects on selected physiological variables such as resting pulse rate, vital capacity, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Post test was conducted after six weeks of training. Pre-test and Post-test data were analyzed by applying ANCOVA. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The training effects of breathing exercise workouts demonstrated significant influence over the physiological related variables among men long distance runners.
