Comparative Effect of Yoga and Circuit Training on Cardiovascular Endurance on School Students

Abstract

This study aimed to explore and compare the effects of  Yoga asanas and Circuit Training on cardiovascular endurance among 90 male students, aged 15-17. The students were randomly assigned to three groups: one group engaged in a 12-week Circuit Training program, another practiced  Yoga, and a third group served as the control. The Peak Flow Meter was used as the dependent variable to measure cardiovascular endurance. Pre- and post-test data were collected, and an ANCOVA test was applied to determine the significance of the differences. The results showed significant improvements in cardiovascular endurance, with a p-value of 0.011, indicating the effectiveness of both interventions.
