The purposeof the study was to investigate effect of yogic training on physical fitness of judo male players. The study was conducted on 30 male judo players were selected as subject of 17 to 25 years of age. Subject were categorized into two groups , namely experimental and control groups. The data were collected from district level players of judo from the different places of rohtak district , Haryana. AAPHER youth fitness battery selected items were used for testing the physical fitness of the subjects. To find out the significance of the differences between pre and posttest means of the one experimental group , control group ‘t’ test was applied. The result of the study revealed that there were significant difference found between the subjects belonging to experimental group and that of control group. Experimental group was better than the control group on pull ups.

HYPOTHESIS
There exists significant effect of selected yogic training on arms and shoulder strength of male judo players.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To assess the effect of selected yogic practices on arms and shoulder strength of male judo players.
METHODOLOGY
The present study was an experimental study. In this study 30 male judo players were selected as subject and divided equally two groups namely experimental and control groups.
STATISTICAL DESIGN
To find out the significance of the differences between pre and post – test means of the one experimental group control group‘t’ test was applied. The level of significance chosen to test, the hypothesis were tested at 0.05, which was recognized as appropriate in relation to the research process adopted and equipment used in this study.
DATA ANALYSIS
The analysis of data , findings and the discussion of the results have been described. To study the effect of yogic training on arms and shoulder strength. Hypotheses were tested at the significance level 0.05.

Figure 1
Mean and Standard Deviation of Pre-Test and Post-Test of Control Group and Experimental Group The table 1 represents the number of students in control group were 15. The means of pre and post-test scores of control group were 8.15 and 8.40 respectively. This implies that the pull up scores in pre-test was slightly higher than in post-test. Standard deviation of the pre-test was lower i.e. 1.01 than the post-test i.e. 1.08, signifying that there was more variation in the scores of students in post-test than in pre-test. The calculated value from the data was 0.29.The calculated value was less than the table’s’ value at 0.05 level of confidence and therefore, the calculated’ value were not significant. It was interpreted that the mean differences in pull ups in pre-test and post-test were not significant. Thus there was no effect on strength of the control group. The table 1 also shows the number of students in experimental group also was 15. The means of experimental group on pre and post-test were 8.20 and 9.90 respectively. It is seen that the pull up scores in pre-test were quite higher than the post-test scores. Standard deviation of the pre-test scores was 1.49 and those of post-test were 1.16 indicating that there was more stability in the scores of students in post-test. The calculated’ value from the data was 2.22. the calculated ‘t’ value was more than the table ‘t’ value at 0.05 level of confidence and hence, the calculated ‘t’ value was significant. Therefore, it is interpreted that the mean difference in pull up that existed between the pre-test scores of experimental group were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. of the subjects. Therefore the hypotheses was accepted since there was significant effect of selected yogic practices on pull up.
CONCLUSION
There were significant difference found between the subjects belonging to experimental group and that of control group. Experimental group was found better than the control group on physical fitness variable pull up.
