Understudy's (unpaired) t test was utilized to look at the qualities between the groups when training. Result: training in SSN delivered a significant reduction in diastolic pressure. Conversely, training in FSN delivered a significant increment in systolic pressure. Despite the fact that there was a profoundly significant increment in isometric hand grip (IHG) quality and hand grip endurance (HGE) in both the groups, the expansion in HGE in FSN assemble was significantly more than in SSN gathering.

5. DATA ANALYSIS

The statistical examination was finished by using ‘t‘ test for the following correlations 1. Intra group Comparison 2. Inter groups Comparison

post scores of each group. Based on this correlation it would achieve the conclusion helped with the following advances:

Control Group Table 1 Comparison between pre & post-test mean scores of control group on body fitness Variable Conditions Mean SD “T” value

Body fitness Pre-test 76.62 3.59 0.031

Post-test 77.01 3.39

The investigation demonstrates the aftereffects of the test of significance of contrast in mean score of the control group amongst pre and post-test. In control group the obese subjects did not demonstrate any change regarding Body fitness (Ramaswami, 2005). It might be noted from the table no.1 of mean value that the subjects score 76.62 and 77.01 in pre and post conditions, individually. The "t" value of - 0.031 isn't significant.

Experimental group Table-2 Comparison between pre & post-test mean scores of Experimental group on Flexibility Variable Conditions Mean SD “T” value

Flexibility Pre-test 77.46 2.73 4.72

Post-test 73.88 2.81

Table 3 Comparison between post-test mean scores of Control and Experimental group on Endurance Variable Groups Mean SD “T” value

Endurance Control group 77.01 3.39 0.02 Experimental group 73.88 2.91

Table no.3 presents the significance of mean distinction amongst control and experimental group on Endurance and the control group has recorded higher Low score indicates change of experimental group on Endurance. The "t" value is 0.02 which is, in any case, insignificant at the 2.15 level.

6. CONCLUSION

Suryanamaskara is the piece of yoga it is having antiquated history from the Vedas. Beforehand it utilized by the main saints. Suryanamaskara brings a novel measurement to yoga. It empowers the body through a combination of incitement and relaxation procedures. It can be singularly helpful for people with either thamas, Rajas or Satva. In each human physiology, we have both pressure reaction and relaxation reaction yet we don't appear to have control over them. That‘s why we the people to begin the SN and to maintain the wellbeing (Sjoman, 1999) Through the demonstration of Surya Namaskara, if one achieves a particular level of soundness and dominance over the system, one could then be acquainted with an all the more compelling and significantly enormous method called Surya Kriya. Surya Kriya is the key methodology. Surya Namaskara is a "country cousin" of Surya Kriya, and there is another method called Surya Shakti, which is a distant relative. If you have to just use the strategy as a physical society to fabricate muscle and end up being physically strong, you do Surya Shakti. In case you should be physically fit furthermore require some significant segment in it, you do Surya Namaskara. In any case, in case you require a strong otherworldly process, you do Surya Kriya
