The purpose of this investigation is comparing the effects of three admitting models using maximum admits in increasing the maximum strength and hypertrophy of unexercised men in the muscles of arm forth. Statistical sample of this investigation are 45 non-athlete male students of Mazandaran University of Science and Technology of the Department of Public Physical Education. Maximum strength and the mass of muscles in the sample was measured using the maximum repeating test in moving arm form by Haler or measured using the arm, before and after the match. Then, the samples were grouped in 3 empirical groups (15 per groups). They exercised for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and 75 minutes per session. The data were analyzed by variance and (LSD) by using SPSS20 software (p≤0.05). There was no meaningful difference among 3 models; normally pyramidal, Counter-pyramidal, and Flat-pyramidal in increasing the shape of arm forth. Also, there was a meaningful difference between two methods, pyramids and flat pyramid after the test. There was no meaningful difference among the methods between counter-pyramidal and flat-pyramidal. So, we can suggest that when the purpose is increasing the muscle, we can use every method, but if the purpose is increasing the strength, it is preferring to use flat pyramidal method.

ABSTRACT- Diabetes mellitus, an impaired blood glucose status is a major cause for loss of valuable human life. The
important risk factors include: High familial aggregation, insulin resistance, lifestyle changes due to rapid urbanization
and obesity specially central one. This study was carried out in diabetics (study group) & non-diabetic (control group)
women of 30-50 years age. They were subjected to anthropometric measurement and body composition assessment by
bioelectrical impedance analysis. This include waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist hip ratio (WHR),
body mass index (BMI), body fat % (BF %) and lean body mass % (LBM %). It was found that the BMI of study group
was significantly higher as compared to that of controls. Values of WC and WHR were significantly higher in Type 2 DM
women than control. This shows that there is association of abdominal obesity (WC and WHR) with Type 2 DM. BF %
gives the relative percentage of fat in human body. BF% was significantly high in diabetic women than in control. Mean
value of body fat % in study group was 35.67±3.03% while that of controls was 28.29±2.66%. This shows that Asians
having higher BF % at low BMI values and also individuals with a similar BMI can vary considerably in their abdominal
fat mass. In such a situation, body fat would constitute the only true measure of obesity. Key-words- Body Composition, Bioelectrical impedance, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Weight of the load and its characteristics is considered to be the important risk factor for low back disorders (LBD) among manual materials handlers. Determining weight of the load and the amount of load a person can lift is important in minimizing the incidence of LBD. Among various methods like isometric, isoinertial and isokinetic, isoinertial approach of lifting evaluation is best as it is safe, inexpensive, simple and dynamically represents real world lifting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of adapted progressive isoinertial lifting evaluation (PILE) for determining maximum acceptable weight of lift (MAWL). This experimental study was conducted among 30 adult male participants recruited from a university community. Adaptation was done to the box dimensions and the weights used for PILE. The subjects were instructed to perform the PILE protocol using adapted box and weights using free lifting technique at two vertical distances and lifting capacity was determined. Heart rate was monitored throughout the trial and the participants were asked to rate their discomfort in a six point likert scale. All the participants were comfortable in performing adapted PILE and no untoward incident was noticed during the procedure. It may be feasible to adapt PILE for determining lifting capacity.
This article explains the research outcome that indicates the possibilities of fat percentage of Obesity range regardless of Body mass index and body frames.

The motivation and habits of rock climbers were investigated using mixed methodology in order to better understand exercise participation. Forty-one patrons of a south eastern United States climbing gym completed a demographics form and adapted Sports Motivation Scale II (SMS-II), while thirty-six participants completed the Rock Climbing Motivation Survey (RCMS). Those with higher climbing frequency reported significantly higher levels of identified regulation than individuals who climbed less often (p=0.011). According to a thematic analysis, exercise balance and personal growth and challenges were the most commonly reported themes of motivation for rock climbing. The most frequently cited barriers were injury and time. Participants reported external motivators to climb upon initiation of the sport, but appeared to rely more on internal motivators to continue climbing. These findings, which are supported by current literature on physical activity, may be applicable to promoting exercise participation and maintenance.

The rationale of the study is to investigate the changes on muscular endurance in response to aerobic and
anaerobic training among type 2 diabetic patients. To achieve the purpose of the study 45 male type 2
diabetic patients from Ongole, in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, India, were selected as subjects.
The subjects were selected in the age group of 45 to 50 years and they were randomly assigned into three
equal groups of 15 each. Experimental group-I performed aerobic training, experimental group-II
performed anaerobic training and group III acted as control. The muscular endurance was selected as
dependent variable. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation on
selected dependent variable was statistically analyzed to find out the significant difference if any, by
applying the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio value was found to be
significant for adjusted post-test means, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test. In all the cases the
level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for significance. The result of the study produced 20.48%
percentage of improvement due to aerobic training and 15.32% of improvement due to anaerobic training
in muscular endurance of the diabetic patients
This cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Biochemistry, Govt. Medical College Srinagar Kashmir. A total of 120 Kashmiri Type 2 diabetic patients and 30 normal controls were randomly selected. Diabetic dyslipidaemia is characterized by raised triglycerides, low high density lipoprotein and raised low density lipoprotein. Determination of serum lipid levels in people with diabetes is considered a standard of care because detection and treatment of dyslipidaemia is one means of reducing cardiovascular disease risk. The lipid profiles and lipoprotein levels of 120 known diabetic patients were studied. Total cholesterol (TC), Triacylglycerol’s (TG) Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were assayed for each group using standard biochemical methods. Dyslipidaemia was defined using the national cholesterol education programme – adult treatment panel III (NCEP-AT III) criteria. BMI and waist and hip circumferences were measured.

Effect of time-of-day specific obese training on body composition and physica...IOSR Journals
The best strategy for management of obese, outside pharmacological interventions, is physical exercise associated to diet. Recent research has discovered that the problem of obesity is largely due to a biological clock and that lipid oxidation is higher in the evening compared to the morning and at night compared to day. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of time-of-day specific obese training on body composition and physical capacity in obese following a low calorie diet. 20 sedentary pre-obese and obese with a mean BMI of 34.3 kg/m2 aged 20 to 47 years subjects participated in a concurrent strength and specific endurance training for obese. Subjects were divided into two training groups: a Morning training Group (MG: n = 10) and an Evening training Group (EG: n=10). The specific training associated to lower caloric diet has increased physical capacity (17,7% for EG and 15,6% for MG), decreased body weight (7,3% for EG and 6% for MG) fat percentage (19,5% for EG and 11,3% for MG) and waist circumference (10,2% for EG and 8,2% for MG) in both groups. Afternoon training was more effective than morning training on fat loss (24.9% for EG versus 15.9% for MG) and on lean mass variation (+2.9% for EG versus -0.5% for MG).

"Heart failure is a typical clinical accompanied by symptoms syndrome (e.g. shortness of breath, ankle swelling and fatigue) that lead to structural or functional abnormalities of the heart (e.g. high venous pressure, pulmonary edema and peripheral edema).
In recent years, the significant role of B-type natriuretic peptide has been revealed in the pathogenesis of heart disease and the use of the drug sacubitril/valsartan has started. It has a positive effect on the regulation of the level of B-type natriuretic peptide in the body. It is obviously seen from the the world literature that natriuretic peptides play an important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. For this reason, many studies suggest that the importance of natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure is recommended.
Due to this, we tried to investigate the effects of a comprehensive medication therapy with a combination of sacubitril/valsartan in the patients with chronic heart failure."

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Effect of Select Yogasanas and Pranayama Practices
on Selected Physiological and Biochemical
Variables among University Football Players
Dr. T. Sivaprasad
Lecturer In Physical Education-S. B. S. Sanskrit College, Ponnur Town & Mandal-Guntur District-Andhra Pradesh, India
Abstract: The purpose of the study is to find out the effect of yogasanas and pranayama practices on selected physiological variables
such as pulse rate, vital capacity, percent body fat and biochemical variables such as high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein
and fasting blood sugar of University football players. Sixty men students in the age group of 18 to 25 years from Acharya Nagarjuna
University-Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, were randomly selected and served as the subjects for the present study. The subjects (N=60) were
divided into three equal groups. Experimental group I-was administered yogasanas exercise group, Experimental group II-underwent
pranayama practices and the third was the control group. All the groups were subjected to pre-test prior to the experimental treatment.
The experimental groups participated in their respective duration of six weeks training schedule. Analysis of Co-variance (ANACOVA)
was applied to determine the significance of mean difference between the three groups. When F-ratio was found to be significant, the
Scheffe‟s Post Hoc test was applied to test the significance of pairs of the adjusted final group means. Practice of the yogasanas and
pranayama practices is significantly effective in promoting desirable changes in the dependent variables.
Keywords: Pulse rate, Vital capacity, Percent body fat, Yogasana, Lipoprotein
1. Introduction
Human life focuses on physical, mental, social and spiritual
aspects. Human health is divided into physical, mental and
social dimensions. Autogenic training is a system of very
specific auto suggestive formula with a purpose to relieve
tension, stress and to eliminate psychosomatic disturbances
including many cases of insomnia, obesity, inability to
concentrate, high blood pressure, constipation, skin
problems, etc. Some people practice autogenic training as an
aid to meditate, in order to improve their mental
concentration in a focused way. Yoga and autogenic training
are useful to the modern man in relieving stress and tension
(Joshi et al, 1992; Sakai, 1997; Arambula et al, 2001;
Malhotra et al, 2002 Steeter and Kupper, 2002) The
purpose of any research should be to solve the existing
complications of the human being. Research should help the
society not only to create good health and happiness among
human beings, but also to improve the quality of life as well.
2. Methodology
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of
yogasanas and pranayama practices on selected
physiological variables such as pulse rate, vital capacity,
percent body fat and biochemical variables such as high
density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and fasting
blood sugar of University football players.
Selection of subjects
Sixty men University football players from Acharya
Nagarjuna University, Guntur-Andhra Pradesh in India,
were randomly selected and served as the subjects for the
purpose of this study. The selected subjects were in the age
group of 18 to 25 years.
Experimental design
The study was formulated as a random group design
consisting of select yogasanas and pranayama practices
groups. The subjects (N=60) were randomly divided into
three equal groups. The groups were named as follows:
Experimental groups I- yogasanas group, Experimental
group II- pranayama group and the third was acted as control
group. All the groups were subjected to pre-test prior to the
experimental Treatment. The experimental groups
participated in their respective duration of 6 weeks training
schedule.
Criterion measures
1) Physiological variables
a) Pulse rate was measured by manual method over a period
of one minute and recorded in beats per minute.
b) Vital capacity was measured by using wetspirometer and
each reading was recorded in milliliter.
c) Percent body fat was measured by using Harpenden skin-
fold caliper and each reading was recorded to the
nearest millimeter.
2) Biochemical variables
a) High density lipoprotein was tested in the biochemical
laboratory and the results were recorded in mg. %.
b) Low density lipoprotein was tested in the biochemical
laboratory and the results were recorded in mg%.
c) Fasting blood sugar was tested in the biochemical
laboratory and the results were recorded in gm/dl.
Statistical technique
Analysis of Co-variance (ANACOVA) was applied to
determine the significance of mean difference between the
three groups. When F-ratio was found to be significant, the
Scheffe‟s Post Hoc test was applied to test the significance
of pairs of the adjusted final group means.

The corresponding F-values needed for significance at 0.05
level is 3.16. The calculated F-values on selected criterion
variables are 11.53 (Pulse Rate), 30.74 (Vital capacity, 37.13
(Percent Body Fat), 19.30 (High Density Lipoprotein), 42.65
(Low Density Lipoprotein and 35.84 (Fasting Blood Sugar).
Since the obtained F-ratio on criterion variables were higher
than the required table value of 3.16 at 0.05 level of
confidence it was found to be significant. Since the observed
mean difference among the three groups were found to be
statistically significant, in order to find out which of the
pairs of group means are significant, the Scheffe‟s Post Hoc
test was applied.

3. Discussion on Findings
The results of the study indicate that the selected
physiological and biochemical variables of the subjects
improved significantly after undergoing the yogasanas and
Pranayama practices for a period of 6 weeks. The analysis of
co-variance and analysis of variance of pulse rate on
yogasanas and Pranayama practices showed that there was
significant improvement in pulse rate due to 6 weeks of the
training. The finding of the study showed that there was a
significant improvement in normalizing the pulse rate in
Pranayama practices group better than the yogasanas
exercises group and control group. Yogasanas and
Pranayama practices are now practiced around the world for
its physiological and biochemical benefits. It reduces the
stress and increases relaxation, which may have a favorable
effect on heart rates. The present study confirmed with the
results of Pawlow and Jones (2002), Arambula et al
(2001) and Bhargava et al (1988).
The analysis of co-variance of vital capacity on Pranayama
practices group and yogasanas exercises group showed that
there was significant improvement in vital capacity due to 6
weeks of training. The finding of the study showed that there
was significant improvement in increasing the vital capacity
in Pranayama practices group better than the yogasanas
group and control group. Yogasanas and Pranayama
practices also improve the lung capacity and it was
discovered that pranayama caused general health
improvement through the enhancement of lung function and
to improve respiratory capacity of the human being. Asans
tone up the lungs. Pranayama is highly useful for
oxygenation. The findings of the study were in agreement
with the studies reported by Cysarz. and Bussing (2005),
Czamara & Michele (2003), Joshi et al (1992) and Birkel
and Edgren (2000).
The findings of the study showed that there was a significant
improvement in controlling the body fat level in
combination of Pranayama practices, yogasanas group was
better than the control group. Health risk associated with too
much body fat. The regular yoga practices can help in
weight management. Some of the asanas stimulate sluggish
glands to increase their hormonal secretions- especially, has
a remarkable effect on our weight. This happens due to body
metabolism. Fat metabolism is also increased in which fat is
converted into muscle energy. In this process fat loss
takes place and as a result one can attain better muscle
tone, higher vitality level and reduces anxiety. Deep
breathing in yoga increases the oxygen delivery to the body
cells and also including the fat cells.
The analysis of co-variance of high density lipoprotein and
low density lipoprotein on yogasanas exercises and
Pranayama practices groups showed that there was a

significant improvement in controlling the high density
lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein due to 6 weeks of the
training. The findings of the study showed that there was a
significant improvement in normalizing the high density
lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein level in Pranayama
practices group showed control over the high density
lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein level which was
better than the yogasanas exercises group and control group.
The biochemical benefits of yoga such as decrease of LDL
cholesterol, glucose and catecholamine and triggers the
resilience of the body. Yoga balances the weight of the
person without losing the strength through different types of
asanas. Yoga lowers blood sugar and LDL cholesterol and
boosts HDL cholesterol. The autogenic technique is one of
self supportive method which can enable the individual to
manage health and other problems like blood sugar, LDL
cholesterol etc., more successfully. The present study
confirmed with the results of Winter (1985) and Vyas and
Dikshit (2002).
4. Conclusions
Practice of the yogasanas exercises program is significantly
effective than the control group in promoting desirable
changes in selected physiological variables such as vital
capacity, percent body fat and biochemical variables such as
high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, fasting
blood sugar among university football players.
Practice of the Pranayama practices is significantly effective
than the yogasanas exercises program and control group in
promoting desirable changes in selected physiological
variables such as pulse rate, vital capacity, percent body fat
and biochemical variables such as high density lipoprotein,
low density lipoprotein and fasting blood sugar among
university football players.
