physical Education and yoga

At the elite level the mental or psychological factors affect the sportsperson's abilities. For developing greater pressure-handling ability, we need to examine individuals who are exposed to handling risk and pressure. Stress refers to the physical, energetic state of activation in the body. It is the physical intensity level. The level of stress or activation can vary from deep sleep to intense excitement. The idea of peak activation level is that for every skill there is an optimal level of activation, a level that corresponds to a maximum performance level. The peak stress state is the level of energy and intensity that relates to an athlete's best performance level. Top achievers in sports operate in or near to their peak stress level in pressure situations. In the present research paper the 40 Indian male wrestlers in the age group of 18 to 25 years were studied on select psycho-physiological variables and their profiles were analyzed. The experimental group wrestlers (N=20) were then exposed to the Yog Nidra for 45 days and their responses were recorded on the psycho-physiological variables namely reaction time and the anticipation time (No. of early and late responses). Thus the complete pre-testing and the post training profiling for the comparative match group (N=20) as well as the experimental group was done and the outcomes were interpreted. The analysis of the present scenario of the psychological condition of the Indian male wrestlers was being done and accordingly the recommendations made for the improvement of the performance of Indian wrestlers so that they can perform better by overcoming the psychological hurdles at the elite level.

Background: The prevalence of obesity and being overweight has been observed amongst young and adolescents in various Asian region countries. However, its prevalence is increasing in developing countries like India in the recent past amongst adults as well. Objectives: To determine if choice of physical activity, happiness achieved after pursuing the said physical activity is influenced by gender or not. 119 adults (64 men and 55 women) in the age group of 20 to 31 years (all either overweight or obese) were asked about their goals (weight loss, general wellbeing), on choice of activity that they wish to utilize (aerobics, walking or Yoga), on if they were happy, satisfied or dissatisfied after having performed the chosen physical activity for 6 weeks (5 days a week). It was hypothesized that gender will have no association with choice of activity, satisfaction level and goals set by either gender (2 groups comprising of males and females). Methods: The study was carried out Delhi NCR region. The researcher analyzed the males and females and classified them into overweight and obese categories gender wise and gave a simple close ended questionnaire to be answered by selecting one choice for each question only. The questionnaire included questions related to what is their objective, the choice of physical activity which the participants wish to do for 6 weeks and lastly on the last day after 6 weeks how do they feel after doing that particular activity. A Chi-square test of independence was used to measure whether there is a relationship between gender and physical activity chosen, gender and level of satisfaction, gender and goal setting. The results showed that there was a non-significant relationship between the selected parameters and the gender.
