Suryanamaskar, Trunk Joint Mobility, Goniometer
Abstract The purpose of this study was to see the effect of 6-week suryanamaskar on trunk joint mobility of faculties of Maharashtra State. To achieve this purpose twenty (20) subjects were divided into two groups (Experimental group – 10 Teachers & Control group – 10 Teachers). The criterion variable of trunk joint mobility was measured by Goniometer. Pretest was taken prior to the Suryanamskar training and posttest was taken after six weeks of Suryanamskar. Suryanamskar were practices every morning i.e. five days (Monday to Friday) per week. After six week training post-test were administered and data were collected. Statistical analyses were done on the basis of ‘t’ test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Result shows that on the basis of mean difference there was difference between the means of pre and post-test of control and experimental group of college teachers in reference to trunk joint mobility. To see this difference is significant or not at 0.05 level of significance. Researcher further calculated ‘t’ test & above table shows that there is significant difference between pre and post-test of experimental group of trunk joint mobility, as the calculated ‘t’ value 2.115 is greater than tabulated ‘t’ value 1.734. But there is insignificant found between pre and post-test of control group of trunk joint mobility, as the calculated ‘t’ value 0.681 is lesser than the tabulated ‘t’ value 1.734. Concluding we can say that experimental group shows significant difference in reference to trunk joint mobility the differences may be attributed that Surya namaskar is basically a sun salutation that leads to healthy body, mind and soul. However, morning time is the best time for surya namaskar. Sun rises is the time when sun rays help revitalize the body and refresh the mind. It also increases the ability of muscle to perform movement with large amplitude (range of motion). It also refers to functional capacity of a joint to move through a normal range of motion.
