ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to find out the effect of pranayama on systolic blood pressure
of adolescent. To achieve the objective of the study adolescent men were selected randomly
from MCC campus School, Madras Christian College. The subjects age ranges from 14 to 18
years in the year 2021. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups of each
having 15 subjects each namely experimental group and control group. The experimental
group underwent pranayama for 6 weeks of program. The control group was not taking part
in any training during the course of the study. Systolic blood pressure was taken as criterion
variable in this study. The selected subjects were tested on Systolic blood pressure, which
was measured using sphygmomanometer. Pre-test was taken before the training period and
post- test was measured immediately after the six-week training period. Statistical
technique’T`’ ratio was used to analyse the means of the pre-test and post test data of
experimental group and control group. The results revealed that there was a significant
difference found on the criterion variable. The difference was found due to pranayama
package given to the experimental group on Systolic blood pressure when compared to
control group.
