. Central Asian Journal of Social Sciences and History, 4 (12): 146-150 (November 2023)

Abstract

Nowadays, obesity is seen as a major public health issue that is spreading alarmingly in both developed and developing nations. It is closely related to nutrition and lifestyle choices, and with urban populations' rising standards of living, lack of physical exercise, and high-calorie contemporary diets, it has emerged as a major health concern. The goal of the current research is to determine how yoga practices affect college students' ability to control their weight. Forty overweight participants were chosen from Paschim Medinipur colleges for this research, and they were split into equal groups of twenty subjects each. There were two groups: a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group received instruction in yoga poses, whereas the control group received no yoga instruction at all. The 42-day yoga training programme was scheduled for 30 minutes each day. The exams were administered twice: first before to the yogic training and again after the conclusion of the course. Following training, the individuals' weights in the experimental and control groups were compared, and statistical analysis was done to determine the outcomes. Findings of the study indicate that Yoga practices have positive impact on the control of weight.
