Abstract:<\/strong> This study examined the comparative effect of selected yogic asanas and pranayama practices on vital capacity among district-level volleyball and kabaddi players. Thirty male players aged 18-23 years were selected from athletes who participated in the Inter-College District Volleyball and Kabaddi Championships held in 2024 at Tamralipta Mahavidyalaya, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal. The participants were assigned to three groups of ten each. Group A consisted of volleyball players, Group B consisted of kabaddi players, and Group C served as the control group. The experimental groups followed a six-week programme of specific asanas and pranayama, while the control group did not receive the intervention. Vital capacity was selected as the criterion variable and was measured before and after the training period. The collected data were analysed through the t-test at the 0.05 level of significance. The reported results indicate that both experimental groups improved their vital capacity after the training period, whereas the control group showed almost no change. The improvement was more pronounced in the kabaddi group than in the volleyball group. The study suggests that a short-term programme of selected yogic practices may be useful for improving respiratory efficiency among district-level players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
