The purpose of the present study was to find out comparative effect of slow and fast suryanamaskar on waist-hip ratio, flexibility and endurance. To take out this investigate work, the investigator had chosen a whole 30 subjects from the Degree College of Physical Education, Amravati and those subjects were separated into two equivalent parts and given slow and fast suryanamaskar training. The age of the subjects selected in this study was between 18 to 25 years. The data was analyzed using Paired 't' test to compare the before and after training values of both the groups and ANCOVA to compare the pre-posttest adjusted mean value. P value of less than 0.05 was accepted as indicating significant difference between the compared values. The above results show that six weeks of fast and slow Suryanamaskar training had a positive effect on Waist-Hip Ratio, Flexibility, Endurance, which helped in correcting their Waist-Hip Ratio and proved to be very beneficial in increasing Flexibility and Endurance. The results also show that Suryanamaskar training done at a slow pace had a positive effect on Flexibility and Endurance compared to Suryanamaskar training done at a fast pace, but no significant difference was seen on Waist-Hip Ratio. From the results obtained, it was concluded that Suryanamaskar training done at a slow pace is more suitable.
