Abstract

Background: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of deep water exercises on selected bio-chemical variables among college women. Method: For the present study 30 college women from Vellore, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. For the present study pre test – post test randomized group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent Deep water exercises and Group ‘B’ underwent no training. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) technique to find out the effect of Deep water training. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Result: The findings of the present study have strongly indicates that Deep water exercises have significant effect on selected bio-chemical variables i.e., RBC, WBC and platelets of college women. Hence the hypothesis earlier set that deep water exercises would have been significant effect on selected bio-chemical variables in light of the same the hypothesis was accepted. Conclusion: Significant effect of deep water exercises training was found on RBC, WBC and platelets.
