Therefore, the investigator intends to explore the impact of integrating yogic practices on physiological and psychological variables among swimming players. To accomplish the objectives of the study, 50 swimming players were selected from balagavi and Gulbarga division of Karnataka state swimming players randomly selected as subject from the age group from above 15 years are divided into the two equal groups. Group I underwent Yogic Practices (YP), while Group II served as the Control Group (CG). The experimental group received the combined training three days per week for a duration of 12 weeks, whereas the control group continued with their regular daily activities without any additional intervention. The data were analyzed using the paired sample ‘t’ test, with the level of significance set at 0.05. The results revealed that Yogic Practices (YP) had a positive impact on both Vo2 Max and aggression among swimming players. The findings of the present study indicated a significant improvement in Vo2 Max and aggression as a result of the integrated YP intervention for swimming players.
