Thirty secondary school children between the age group of fifteen to nineteen years were selected through systematic random sampling technique from Kapurthala district. Subjects were divided into two groups i.e. Experimental and Control group. Training of Yoga was imparted for eight weeks on Experimental group and data of pre test and post test was collected. Training program was not given to Control group. Tachistoscop was used to measure the Span of attention. The results of the investigation shown significant improvement on span of attention, which were tested on 0.05 level of confidence.

The purpose of this study was determine comparative effect of SAQ and CIRCUIT training progamme on selected physical fitness variables of school level male Kho-Kho players. (Age 14 to 16 year) 90 player selected of the Nanded city were randomly assigned in to three group exp. Group A. SAQ training Exp. B. Circuit training and control group. Exp. Group A underwent a SAQ training programme of selected exersices; exp group B received a Circuit training programme selected exercises.

The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of yogic training, aerobic training and detraining on cardio-respiratory endurance of college male students. For this study 45 (forty five) healthy untrained subjects were selected on random basis. The students were selected from Dr.R.K.Shanmugam College of Arts & Science, Indili, Kallakurichi T.K Villupuram (Dt) in Tamil Nadu, India. The subject's age were ranged between 18 to 21 years. The selected subjects were divided into three groups, each group consist of fifteen (15) subjects.

Purpose of present study was to develop the suitable equation to predict the speed of sub junior athletes. To keeping this purpose in mind long range of variables from different categories was selected i.e. Physical, physiological, psychological and anthropometric, while the variables were leg strength, back strength, abdominal strength, flexibility, height, weight, leg length, arm length, calf girth, thigh girth, motivation, aggression, self confidence, resting heart rate and vital capacity. Subjects for this study were selected by stratified random sampling method from KVBamrauli, Allahabad. Data for this study was collected during sports camp by application of suitable criterion measures. Product moment correlation and multiple correlation was used to find out the correlation between criterion and predictor variables, while backward linear regression method was used to develop the prediction equation at 0.05 level of significance. According to findings leg strength, back strength, flexibility, height, motivation and vital capacity is found correlated with speed and equation develop on basis of these variables is significant for prediction. Some of variables like leg length, calf girth is not found correlated with speed may due to nature of different sport. May suitable prediction can be done if subjects are selected form on particular sports in large number.

The word `stress` is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "a state of affair involving demand on physical or mental energy". A condition or circumstance (not always adverse), which can disturb the normal physiological and psychological functioning of an individual. In medical parlance `stress` is defined as a perturbation of the body`s homeostasis. This demand on mind-body occurs when it tries to cope with incessant changes in life. A `stress` condition seems `relative` in nature. Extreme stress conditions, psychologists say, are detrimental to human health but in moderation stress is normal and, in many cases, proves useful. Stress, nonetheless, is synonymous with negative conditions. Today, with the rapid diversification of human activity, we come face to face with numerous causes of stress and the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
