The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of six week of anulom-vilom pranayama on breath holding positive or negative among sen.sec.school girls Fazilka district. To achieve the purpose of this study 60 girls. Students were randomly selected as subject from fazilka district. Their age ranged from 16 to 19 years. The selected participants were randomly divided in two group ( n-30) group A( experimental group) and ( n-30) group B ( control group)Anulom-vilom is the king of all pranayamas This pranayamas control breathing cycle,which is controlled by inspiratory and expiratory . Anulom-vilom pranayama practices was imparted thirty minutes of daily training for 6 weeks under the proper supervision. Control group was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The stop watch was used to measure breath holding times were selected as variables. The pre and post tests were collected on selected criterion variable prior and immediately after the training program. The pre and post-tests score were statistically examined by the dependent t-test to see the effect of training programme.The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that positive & negative breath holding time had shown significantly improved in breath holding time .Post test of group A and group B difference of mean score has a significant effect on breath holding(maximum breath holding postive & maximum breath holding negative) of girls students. The control group had not shown any significant improvement on breath holding time.

To study the effect of Anulom -vilom pranayama practices on the physiological variable ( breath holding time) among Sen. Sec. school girls district Fazilka.

Apar Avinash Saoji et al., (2019) Pranayama or breath regulation was considered as an essential component of Yoga, which was said to influence the physiological systems. We present a comprehensive overview of scientific literature in the field of yogic breathing. We searched PubMed, PubMed Central and IndMed for citations for keywords “Pranayama” and “Yogic Breathing”. The search yielded a total  of 1400 references. Experimental papers, case studies and case series in English, revealing the effects of yogic breathing were included in the review. The preponderance of literature points to beneficial effects of yogic breathing techniques in both physiological and clinical setups. Advantageous effects of yogic breathing on the neurocognitive, psycho physiological, respiratory, biochemical and metabolic functions in healthy individuals were elicited. They were also found useful in management of various clinical conditions. Overall, yogic breathing could be considered safe, when practiced under guidance of a trained teacher. Considering the positive effects of yogic breathing, further large scale studies with rigorous designs to understand the mechanisms involved with yogic breathing were warranted.

Bal (2010) the purpose of this study was to find out the Effect of anulom vilom and bhastrika pranayama on the vital capacity and maximal ventilatory volume. In this was, thirty (N = 30) randomly selected male students aged 18-26 years volunteered to participate in the study from D.A.V. Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jalandhar (Punjab), India. They were randomly assigned into two groups: A (experimental) and B (control). The subjects were subjected to the eight week pranayama training programme that includes “Anulom Vilom Pranayam” and “Bhastrika Pranayam”. The between-group differences were assessed using the Student’s t-test for dependent data. The level of p D0.05 was considered significant. The vital capacity and maximal ventilatory volume significantly improved in group A compared with the control one. Pranayama training programme may be recommended to improve vital capacity and maximal ventilatory volume 

To achieve the purpose of this, 60girl’s students were randomly selected as subject from 16 to 19 years. The selected participants were randomly divided in twogroups such as group A. experimental group(N-30) and group B acted as control group (N-30). Group A under supervision anulom-vilom practices 30 minutes daily for six week. However, Group B(control group) was not exposed to any specific training but they participated in their regular schedule. The stop watch was used to measure breath holding times were collected on selected criterion variable prior and immediately after training program. All the participants were informed about the objective and protoccol of the study.Datd and identity information of participants maintained in privancy .Participants start with Om in padmasan then Anulom-Vilom(Alternate Nostril breathing exercise).In the last Shavasan for 5 minutes.The pre and post- test selected criterion variable scores were statistically examinedby the dependent t-test. The level of significant was fixed at .05 level of confidence. Which was considered? Tool used for collecting the data: -Stop watch for time count.,yoga mat, peaceful area
