Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of yogic practices on selected body composition measures and high density lipoproteins among obese women. To achieve this purpose, 20 obese women, with BMI of 30-40 (W/H2), were randomly selected as subjects from various places around Chidambaram. The age of the subjects were ranged from 30 to 35 years. The subjects were further classified at random into two equal groups of 10 subjects each, in which, group - I underwent yogic practices for six days (Monday to Saturday) per week for sixteen weeks and group - II acted as control who were not allowed to attend any special training.
