ABSTRACT
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.
