The present study was designed to find out the effect of yogasanas and pranayama exercises lowers the lipid levels and increases the antioxidant status. Sixty men students of age 25-28years were selected randomly as subjects from B.P.E.d in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science, Annamalai University. Selected subjects were divided into four groups with fifteen numbers of each. Group1 served as Control; Group 2 as Asana; Group 3 as Pranayama and Group 4 as Asana and Pranayama. Experimental study was carried out for three months duration. Selected yogasnas and pranayama exercises were given to the experimental groups for (4days/week) for 12 weeks. Blood samples were collected before and after the complete course of treatment. Biochemical analysis was done on selected lipid and antioxidant variables by the concerned Biochemist, Department of Biochemistry, Annamalai University. Resulted Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT and they were significant at p? 0.05 levels. Thus our study concluded that combined exercises of yogasanas and pranayama practices reduces the lipid levels and retains the antioxidant status. It is also revealed that combined exercises produced better effect than alternate exercise groups.
