Impact of Yoga and Kalari Interventions on Fat Percentage:Overweight and Obese Girls on Focus

180 adolescent obese girls were invited, 120 were screened, and 90 were ultimately chosen at random as subjects using a random group sampling design in order to ascertain the impact of yoga and kalari practices on the percentage of fat in these girls.After getting informed consent from the subjects, they were divided into three groups of 30 each, YG (Yoga group), KG (Kalari group) and CG (control group).It was predicted that the fat percentage of obese teenage schoolgirls would differ significantly depending on whether they practiced yoga or Kalari.Preliminary tests conducted for YG (Yoga group), KG (Kalari group) and CG (control group) on the F a t p e r c e n t a g e .Experimental Groups underwent Yogic Practices and Kalari practices for 24 weeks .Descriptive statistics and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) i s a d m i n i s t e r e d to verify the significant differences between the groups.Post hoc analysis was done to check the significant difference between the groups The test of significance would be fixed at 0.05 level of confidence.The result shows there is a significant difference in Fat percentage of both yoga group and Kalari group compared to controlled group.The F test of post-test scores of three groups (F= 8.019) shows significant difference (p=0.000***) which indicates There is a significant difference between the groups.Yoga group's paired T test value for the pre-and post-test results was t=13.934, the p value p=0.000*** show there is a significant difference in Fat percentage after 24 weeks of Yogic inventory.Kalari group's paired T test value for the pre-and post-test results was t=12.641,p=0.000*** show there is a significant difference in Fat percentage after 24 weeks of Kalari inventory also.

Abstract

180 adolescent obese girls were invited, 120 were screened, and 90 were ultimately chosen at random as subjects using a random group sampling design in order to ascertain the impact of yoga and kalari practices on the percentage of fat in these girls.After getting informed consent from the subjects, they were divided into three groups of 30 each, YG (Yoga group), KG (Kalari group) and CG (control group).It was predicted that the fat percentage of obese teenage schoolgirls would differ significantly depending on whether they practiced yoga or Kalari.Preliminary tests conducted for YG (Yoga group), KG (Kalari group) and CG (control group) on the F a t p e r c e n t a g e .Experimental Groups underwent Yogic Practices and Kalari practices for 24 weeks .Descriptive statistics and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) i s a d m i n i s t e r e d to verify the significant differences between the groups.Post hoc analysis was done to check the significant difference between the groups The test of significance would be fixed at 0.05 level of confidence.The result shows there is a significant difference in Fat percentage of both yoga group and Kalari group compared to controlled group.The F test of post-test scores of three groups (F= 8.019) shows significant difference (p=0.000***) which indicates There is a significant difference between the groups.Yoga group's paired T test value for the pre-and post-test results was t=13.934, the p value p=0.000*** show there is a significant difference in Fat percentage after 24 weeks of Yogic inventory.Kalari group's paired T test value for the pre-and post-test results was t=12.641,p=0.000*** show there is a significant difference in Fat percentage after 24 weeks of Kalari inventory also.
