The purpose of the random group experimental study was to find out the effect of yogic practices on selected risk factors among obese adult women. Thirty (30) Obese Adult women residing in Chennai aged between 25 and 35 years were selected randomly by using a random sampling design into two groups. Experimental group-1 and Group-2 had fifteen (15) subjects each. The training period for this study was eight weeks. The experimental group-A underwent yoga practices in the morning six days a week for up to one and half hours. Group B was kept in active rest. The pre-test and post-test were conducted before and after the training for both groups. To analyze the data, Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference between the groups. The test of significance was fixed at a 0.05 level of confidence. The results proved that there were significant differences due to yogic practices between group-1 and group-2 biochemical variables such as fasting blood sugar and HbA1c than Group B among obese adult women. It was concluded that there was a positive impact on yogic practices when compared to Group B on biochemical variables such as fasting blood sugar, HbA1c (decreased) among obese adult women. Hence the above hypothesis was accepted at a 0.05 level of confidence.

Yogic practices, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, Obesity.
