For this research study, only obese students were selected as subjects. In the measurement standard, vital energy was measured using a picoflowmeter. To find out the effects of asana-pranayama and Sangha Vyavan activities on obese students, one-way analysis of covariance test was applied and the differences between the means were tested for significance at the 0.05 level using the Least Significant Difference Post Hock test.
