Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of short-term Chandra nadi pranayama on Hematological Parameters. Thirty, university level girls of Department of Physical Education (T), Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar between the age group of 21-26 years volunteered to participate in the study. The subjects from Group-A: Experimental, were subjected to a 3-week Chandra nadi pranayama. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows version 10.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Data is expressed as the Mean ± SD. Student t-test for Paired Samples was utilized to compare the means of the Pre-Test and the Post-Test. To test the Hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. To conclude, it is significant to mention in relation to Hemoglobin (Hb), Total Cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-Cholesterol), High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-Cholesterol) and Triglycerides (TG) that results of Paired Sample t-test were found statistically insignificant (P >.05).
