Abstract

Background: Circuit training and Yogasana are good for the development of physical and physiological fitness of an individual. These training methods are useful to develop the individual’s fitness component like strength, speed, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and agility as well as physiological components like Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Inspiratory Capacity (IC) and Expiratory Capacity (EC). Thus, this study was planned to find out the variation of cardiovascular endurance, inspiratory capacity and forced vital capacity among sport persons through circuit training and Yogasana practice in different Prakriti individuals. Materials and Methods: 60 young and healthy male of age group 18-28 years, inter university level sport players were selected and divided into three groups, two experimental group ( Yogasana and circuit training group) and one control group. Prakriti of each player was determined by the standard proforma. Harvard step test and PFT was done before and after completion of intervention. Result: After intervention significant changes were found in cardiovascular endurance, forced vital capacity and inspiratory capacity. Pair wise comparison of groups resulted in significant difference between circuit training group v/s control group and Yogasana group v/s control group in FVC and IC, circuit training group v/s Yogasana groups in IC. On Prakriti wise analysis significant changes were observed in all the three parameters of all Prakriti players of circuit training group while, Yogasana group showed significant difference in different parameters. No change was found in control group. Conclusion: Circuit training and Yogasana practices produced almost similar response on all studied parameters.

Highlights

Training is the most important for preparing the athlete for higher level of performance
Some studies have been taken to evaluate the effect of circuit training on certain physiological parameters[5, 6], effect of breathing exercises on respiratory system and management of diseases related to respiratory system, response of different types of exercises on different physiological parameters have been proven by previous workers[7,8,9,10]
Twelve-week intervention of circuit training and Yoga sana has resulted in significant changes in cardiovascular endurance, forced vital capacity and inspiratory capacity

Summary

Introduction

Training is the most important for preparing the athlete for higher level of performance. Effect of Circuit Training and Yogasanas on Cardiovascular Endurance, Inspiratory Capacity and Forced Vital Capacity among Sports Person with Special Reference to Prakriti endurance[1]. This study was conducted to observe the effect of circuit training and Yogasana as per psychosomatic constitution (Prakriti) of an individual. Circuit training and Yogasana are good for the development of physical and physiological fitness of an individual These training methods are useful to develop the individual’s fitness component like strength, speed, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and agility as well as physiological components like Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Inspiratory Capacity (IC) and Expiratory Capacity (EC). This study was planned to find out the variation of cardiovascular endurance, inspiratory capacity and forced vital capacity among sport persons through circuit training and Yogasana practice in different Prakriti individuals. Conclusion: Circuit training and Yogasana practices produced almost similar response on all studied parameters
