Prior to administering the test, pre - test scores for Resting Respiratory Rate and Pulse Rate were collected. After thirteen (13) weeks of training, post - test scores were collected on Resting Respiratory Rate and Pulse Rate. The experimental group perform the Pranayama (20 minutes) and Meditation (20 minutes) the total duration of practice was 40 minutes, conducted four days per week. No training was involved in the control group. Significance level was set at.05 levels.
