The impact of cyclic meditation and selected yogic program on Balance in Diabetic Patients

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to find out the impact of cyclic meditation and selected yogic programe on Balance in Diabetic Patients. Forty-five type-2 diabetic patients were chosen at random from Indra Gandhi Memorial Hospital and the yoga and fitness club in Agartala to fulfill the study's objectives. They are between the ages of 40 and 60. They were randomly divided into three equal groups. The groups were assigned as Experimental Group I, Experimental Group II and Control Group equivalently. Experimental Group I was exposed to Cyclic Meditation (CM), Experimental Group II was exposed to Yogic asanas (YA) and Control Group (CG) was not exposed to any experimental training other than their regular daily activities. . The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant differences, if any among the groups. Three groups were compared, and whenever they obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post-test was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test to find out the paired mean differences, if any. The 0.05 level was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as appropriate. The result of the study indicates due to training on balance have been improved significantly.
