Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of selected yogic practices on the development of speed, explosive strength and explosive power. The criterion measures were 50 yards dash, Sargent jump test, and standing broad jump test. To accomplish the purpose, 90 college women students of government first grade college, K.R. Pet, were chosen as subjects at random and their age group was between 18 - 22 years. Two groups were formed one experimental and one control group of 30 subjects each. The experimental groups participated in yogic practice training for 12 week and the control group performed the routine work. The data was collected in the beginning and at the end.
