Survey of Posture using Newyork Postural Rating Scale-Impact of Corrective and Aerobic Exercise on Posture and Physiological Variables

The purpose of the study was to exam ine the effect of Corrective and aerobic exercise on Posture and selected Physiological components of poor posture Engineering Women students. To achieve the purpose of the study, the survey programme was conducted among 400 participants and New York postural rating scale was used and scoring is done for each individual from which forty participants of very poor posture were selected for this study. The subjects (n=40) were randomly assigned to two equal groups of twenty girls each. The groups were assigned as experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) in an equivalent manner. The pretest was conducted on all the selected variables of both experimental and control group. The experimental group participated in the Corrective and aerobic exercises training programme for a period of 12 weeks. The subjects of the control group were not participated in any physical activities. The corrective and aerobic exercises Training programme was scheduled at 6:00am to 7:00am for five days in a week. The post test were conducted for all subjects on Posture, Physiological components namely Resting pulse rate, Body mass index, Blood pressure (Systolic and Diastolic) Percentage of Body fat. To analyze the data analysis of covariance was used. The result reveals that there was a significant difference on Resting pulse rate, Body mass index, Blood pressure (Systolic and Diastolic) Percentage of Body fat (Physiological variables) of experimental group than control group.
