Abstract

The participants were Tribal Taekwondo athletes, and the researchers wanted to see what kind of effect Power Yoga and Plyometric Training had on their blood glucose and urea levels when they were Cloistered and Coalesced. This goal will be reached by recruiting 60 (N=60) female Tribal Taekwondo athletes from different schools across Kerala. Between 14 and 16 years old, their ages spanned a wide range. The 15 participants were divided at random into four groups. The first group did Power Yoga, the second did Plyometrics, the third did a combination of the first two, and the fourth served as a control. The blood glucose and urea concentration were selected as dependent variables and evaluated. Analysis of Covariance was used to statistically analyze the data obtained from the four groups before and after the training programme on the selected criterion variables (ANCOVA). Post hoc Scheffe's test was used to determine among the paired mean differences which were more prominent whenever the 'F' ratio for adjusted post-test means was found to be prominent. For the most part. The doubtless threshold was set at.05. The speed of the experimental groups that participated in either power yoga, plyometric training, or a combination of the two had significantly increased. Blood glucose and urea nitrogen levels were found to be reduced more in the pooled power yoga and plyometric training group compared to the power yoga group and the plyometric training group.
