Abstract: The purpose of the study was find out the effect of yogic practices on peak flow rate and resting pulse rate among school students. To achieve the purpose of this study, 30 male school students were randomly selected as subjects from the John’s Central School, Anjugramam, Kanyakumar, Tamil Nadu, India. Their age was 14 and 15 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as group ‘A’ yogic practices (asana, pranayama) (n=15) and group ‘B’ acted as control group (n=15). Group ‘A’ underwent yogic practices for three days per week and each session lasted for an hour for six week of yogic practices. Control group was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The peak flow rate was assessed by peak flow meter and resting pulse rate was assessed by radial pulse artery manual count method was selected as variables. The pre and post tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training program. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent ‘t’ test and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that the yogic practices group had shown significantly improved in peak flow rate and resting pulse rate. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on peak flow rate and resting pulse rate.
