The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of the different paces of Suryanamaskar on flexibility variable. To find out and evaluate the pattern of progress in different paces of Suryanamaskar practice. A total 120 male students were randomly selected from B.Tech degree program for CoAE, JNKVV Jabalpur. The ages ranged of subject were between 17-24 years. For administration practicability three intact groups were formed namely group 1 group 2 group 3. The treatment pace 1 (90 second), pace 2(180 second) pace 3(360 second) was randomly allotted among 03 group; each consisted of 40 students name as pace 1, pace 2 and pace 3 groups. The groups actively participated for a period of 12 weeks with their respective paces of Suryanamaskar. The quantitative measurement of each subject taken with help of standard equipment before the training programme pretest after 6 and 12 weeks of training programme. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA was employed to find out within and between groups the effect of different pace effect of training durations and effect between pace and training durations of Suryanamaskar on selected flexibility variable by using SPSS 19 and the level of significance was at 0.05.Results: The findings indicated that the practice of Suryanamaskar for 6 and 12 weeks is enough to bring out significant improvement flexibility variable in all three paces of groups, there was no significant difference found among three paces of groups on flexibility at pretest. However, after 12 week training of Suryanamaskar the effect on flexibility was pace 3 groups found most improvement followed by pace 2 and pace 1 group.
