Abstract

<p>The primary aim of this research was to determine the therapeutic effects of Surya-Nadi Pranayama on Metabolic Fitness (MetF) and Bone Integrity. Forty Two, university level girls between the age group of 21-26 years were selected. The subjects were purposively assigned into two groups: Group-A: Experimental (n<sub>1</sub>=21); Group-B: Control (n<sub>2</sub>=21). The subjects from Group-A: Experimental were subjected to a 4-weeks Surya-nadi pranayama. Student t test for paired samples was utilized to compare the means of the pre-test and the post-test. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we conclude that the significant differences were found in Metabolic Fitness (MetF) (i.e., Maximal Oxygen Consumption (V<sub>O2</sub>max) of University Level Girls. Insignificant between-group differences were noted in Blood Lipid, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar and Bone Integrity of University Level Girls.</p>
