Forty (40) female Athletes from Punjab, India (20 from 100 meters and 20 from 400 meters) who have participated in All India Inter-University athletics Championship were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged from 18-24 years. It was hypothesized that there would not be a significant difference in explosive strength and maximum leg strength between 100 meter and 400 meter sprinters. Their maximum leg strength was measured by leg dynamometer in Kgs and explosive strength performance was recorded by standing broad jump in meters respectively. The data collected on explosive strength and maximum leg strength was analyzed by independent "t" test. The level of significance for testing the hypothesis was set at 0.05 level of confidence. Findings: The results have shown that the sprinters participated in 100mts and 400mts did not differ significantly in the explosive strength and maximum leg strength. The mean values of Explosive strength for 100 and 400 meter sprinters were 2.049 mt and 2.025 mt respectively and the mean values of Maximum leg strength for 100 and 400 meter sprinters were 133.2 kg and 133.05 kg respectively. The calculated t-value for explosive strength was 1.142 which showed no significant difference. (tcal=1.142 <ttab=2.021) and the calculated t-value for maximum leg strength was 0.037 which showed no significant difference. (tcal=0.037 <ttab=2.021). The sprinters participated in the events of 100mts and 400mts did not differ from each other in explosive strength and maximum leg strength .

Thirty female yoga students from Punjabi University Patiala were selected as a subject. The age of the subjects was between 18 to 25 years. They were randomly assigned into two groups: A (experimental) and B (control). The subjects were subjected to an six week yoga asana training programme which included: Eka Pada Sirsasana, Bhujangasana, Dhanur Asana, Gomukh Asana, Chakra Asana and, Vaktayan Asana. The‘t’ test was employed to know the difference in the mean of each group for selected variable. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results: The Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and Vital Capacity significantly improved in group A compared with the control group. Conclusions: selected asana may be recommended to improve Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and Vital Capacity.
Keywords: Hatha Yoga, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, Yoginis.
