Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the effects of Dynamic Suryanamaskar (sun salutations) on the Physical Efficiency Index of selected physical education students at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. The subjects for this study were selected from the Department of Physical Education at Banaras Hindu University. A total of 20 male subjects were selected and used as one practice group.
Dynamic Suryanamaskar was considered the Independent Variable and Physical Efficiency Index was considered the Dependent Variable. Test was for Physical Efficiency Index. The Repeated Measures Design was used for this study. Only one group of 20 participants was created. Tests were administered in equal intervals of two weeks.
The tests started four weeks prior to the Dynamic Suryanamaskar (DSN) treatment and took place every two week thereafter, for a total of, three times. Tests took place every two weeks during the treatment and after the completion of the treatment, they were continued for the following four week period. To determine the effect of Dynamic Suryanamaskar on physiological and anthropometric variables of selected physical education students at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, one way ANOVA was used at .05 level of significance. In relation to Physical Efficiency Index, a significant (p<.05) effect of Dynamic Suryanamaskar was found.
