Abstract: This study explores the impact of yogic practices on selected physiological variables among adolescent sportspersons, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of how regular engagement in yoga can influence physiological profiles. The research focuses on a 3-month yogic intervention involving 60 adolescent sportspersons, aged 13 to 19, who underwent a structured yoga program specifically tailored to their age group. The intervention targeted key physiological variables, with data on pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels collected at the beginning and end of the intervention period. Using the paired t-test for statistical analysis, the study examined changes in these physiological parameters over the course of the 3-month intervention. The results demonstrated significant improvements in both pulse rate and oxygen saturation, indicating that sustained engagement in yogic practices can lead to substantial physiological benefits for adolescent athletes. These findings underscore the potential of yoga as a holistic approach to enhance athletic performance by optimizing physiological function. The research contributes valuable insights into the role of yoga in sports training, suggesting that it can be an effective complementary strategy for improving physiological outcomes in adolescent sportspersons. The study's results advocate for the integration of yoga into sports training programs, highlighting its potential to support the overall physical development and performance of young athletes.
