Effectiveness of 12 weeks yoga practices on body composition parameters among healthy male college students

Abstract

Background: The stressful situation may result in obesity, which is linked to a variety of diseases. Aims: The current study sought to determine whether yoga has an effect on body composition reduction. Methods: The current study included 95 (n = 95) healthy male volunteers aged 18-24 years, with 35 (n = 35) volunteers excluded. The remaining 60 volunteers (n = 60) were divided into two groups at random: (a) Yoga Group (n = 30) and (b) Control Group (n = 30). The yoga group received 60 minutes of yoga training per day, six days per week for 12 weeks, while the control group received no yoga training. Body composition parameters were assessed in both groups at baseline, before yoga training (0 week), and after the training (12 weeks). Results: Significant reduction (P < 0.001) in the percentage of body fat; levels were noted in the yoga group after 12 weeks when compared to baseline data (0 week). However, there was no significant difference in height, weight, body mass index, body surface area and lean body mass among the yoga group after 12 weeks when compared to baseline data.
