Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a yogic package on low density lipoprotein (LDL) among trained handball players. To achieve this, thirty trained handball players were selected from Sivaganga District, Tamil Nadu, India, during the year 2019. The subjects' ages ranged from 18 to 25 years. The selected players were divided into two equal groups of 15 each: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent a yogic package program for six weeks, while the control group did not participate in any training during the study. LDL was taken as the criterion variable and was measured using the LDL analyzer method (blood test). A pre-test was conducted before the training period, and a post-test was administered immediately after the six-week training. The statistical technique of the ‘t’ ratio was used to analyze the pre-test and post-test data of both groups. The results revealed a significant difference in LDL levels due to the yogic package administered to the experimental group compared to the control group.
