The subjects from Group-A: Experimental were subjected to a 4-weeks Anuloma Viloma Pranayama. Student t test for paired samples was utilized to compare the means of the pre-test and the post-test. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, we conclude that the significant differences were found in Metabolic Fitness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MetF); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.e., Maximal Oxygen Consumption insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VO2max); and blood pressure of University Level Girls. Insignificant between-group differences were noted in Blood Lipid, Blood Sugar and Bone Integrity of University Level Girls.
