Abstract The study sought to investigate the effect of yoga and aerobic training on selected physiological variables among men handball players. To achieve the purpose of the study (N=45) forty five men handball players were selected from SKSS Arts College, Thirupanandal, Tamilnadu, India as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 19 to 25 years. The selected subjects were divided into three equal groups (N=15). Group I underwent yoga training. Group II underwent aerobic training. Group III acted as control group who did not undergo any specialized training program other than their daily routine. The physiological variables such as vital capacity and breathe holding time. Were selected as dependent variables and they were assessed by spirometer and manual method respectively. The subjects were concerned with their particular training for a period of six weeks, three days per week. The collected data from three groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 for all the cases to test the hypothesis. The result of the study reveals that the yoga training and aerobic training groups achieved significant improvement on selected physiological variables such as vital capacity and breathe holding time of college men handball players.
