The objective of the research was to investigate the effects of a three-month yogic training program on cholesterol levels in individuals with obesity. A total of thirty participants were randomly selected from the Gwalior District in Madhya Pradesh, ensuring that none had any health conditions other than obesity. These participants were divided into two groups: the Experimental Group and the Control Group, each consisting of 15 individuals. All subjects had a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher. Over the course of three months, the Experimental Group engaged in a yoga training program that lasted 60 minutes and occurred five days a week, while the Control Group did not partake in any form of training. Cholesterol levels were assessed at the beginning of the study and again after three months. The data was analyzed using the paired t-test. Results indicated a significant reduction in total cholesterol levels (p<0.05) in the Experimental Group following the three-month yoga program, whereas the Control Group exhibited only a minimal decrease in cholesterol levels. This suggests that consistent yoga practice can significantly enhance the health status of overweight males by reducing total cholesterol levels.
