The aim of this study was to find out the effect of iron yoga practices on abdominal and core strength among women students. To achieve the purpose of this study, thirty women students were randomly selected as participants from women’s Hostel Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tamilnadu, India. Their age were ranged from 18 to 22 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as Group ‘I’ underwent iron yoga practices group (n=15) and Group ‘II’ acted as control group (n=15). Group ‘I’ underwent iron yoga practices for alternate three days and one session per day and each session lasted for an hour for six week periods. Group ‘II’ was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on selected criterion variables on abdominal strength was measured by bent knee sit ups test (numbers) and core strength was measured by blank test (seconds). The pre and post-tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the iron yoga training. The pre and post tests scores were statistically examined by the dependent ‘t’ test and Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) for each and every selected variables separately. It was concluded that the iron yoga practices group were improved criterion variables on abdominal strength and core strength when compared to the control group. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on selected criterion variables.
