The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of yogic training on inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume among preadolescent boys. To achieve the purpose of this study, 30 preadolescent boys were randomly selected as subjects from Thoothukudi District, Tamilnadu, India. Their age were ranged from 12 to 14 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as group ‘I’ underwent yogic training (n=15) and group ‘II’ acted as control group (n-15). Group ‘I’ underwent yogic training for six days in a week and one session per day and each session lasted for 45 minutes for six week. Group ‘II’ was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume were collected by administering with Wet Spiro meter. The pre and post tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training programme. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent ‘t’ test and Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) for each and every selected variable separately. It was concluded that the yogic training group had shown significantly improved in inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on any of the selected variables such as inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume.
