For the present study 30 students of Indira Gandhi K Mahavidyalay Ralegaon were selected. The researcher hypothesized that specific yogic exercise may be effective for improving the physical fitness of college students. The players aged between 17-19 years were selected. The data was analyzed statistically on three different tests of Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance and Flexibility of control group (N=15), and experimental group (N=15) were analyzed by using “t” test and post-test and pre -test means of both groups to find out the difference among the selected physical fitness component. Differences between the groups were assessed by using the Student’s t-test for dependent data. In order to test the hypothesis the level of significance was set at 0.5 level of confidence which was considered adequate and reliable for the purpose of the study.
