Purpose
The objective of the study was to find out the trend of the effects of 4 varieties of bhastrika pranayama on static balance ability.
Methods
The total of 75 male students were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged 17–25 years. The participants were divided randomly into 5 groups, 15 students each. They practiced 4 varieties of bhastrika pranayama.
Results
Quadratic components for overall trends were found significant in static balance ability. A significant difference was observed between linear components of the trends for the treatment groups and the control group in static balance ability. Also, a significant difference was noted between quadratic components of the trends for the treatment groups and the control group as for static balance ability.
Conclusions
There was a significant difference among the adjusted post-test means of 4 experimental groups and the control group in static balance ability.
