The potentiality of yoga to improve V̇O2max is often questioned because of its low exercise stimulus. Considering the positive effects of Yoga Breathing Maneuvers (YBM) on cardio-respiratory systems, its effect on V̇O2max needs to be studied. So, possible role of YBM in improvement in V̇O2max in yoga training was observed.32 healthy male students of 19 to 21 years of age were divided into two equal groups of 16 each. One group (YG) practiced yoga (Yogasanas, YBM and meditation) for 40 minutes every day for 6 days per week for 3 months. YBM were progressively inducted by increasing practice duration throughout training. Other group (CG) did not practice Yoga. Their basal heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were recorded in the morning in bed. Predicted V̇O2max was measured on them by Queen’s college step test. HR was recorded before, during and after exercise manually and with Polar sports tester. All the parameters were recorded at baseline, 6th and 12th week end of yoga training.In YG, V̇O2max improved from baseline (47.5±3.7 ml/kg/min) to 6th week (49.4±3.3 ml/kg/min, P<0.001) and 12th week end (53.03±3.3ml/kg/min, P<0.0001). YG showed significant reduction in basal RR, HR and resting HR at 6th and 12th week end compared to their respective base line values. CG did not show such changes. V̇O2max was correlated to basal RR(r= – 0.463, p=0.0009), HR (r= -0.235, p=0.107) and resting HR (r= -0.414, p=0.003). YBM facilitated the improvement in V̇O2max possibly by its effects on cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Quality of Life of Parents and Behavioral Aspects of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Background: Parent quality of life refers to the degree to which parent of individuals of children with disabilities are able to meet their basic needs, enjoy time together, and pursue leisure interests and activities. Children with ASD causes stress in the family, most especially among parents, consequently affecting parental quality of life (QOL). Objective: Our objective was to identify the quality of life among the parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and behavioural aspects of children with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: This paper describes the QOL of parents and behavioural aspects of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) by using a quantitative method design. The participants are parents of children with ASD (n=153) and were asked to answer the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) Questionnaire Bengali Version and The Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF). The WHOQOL-BREF was used to assess parental QOL while the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF) was used to assess the child’s social behavior/ competence and problem behavior, demographic data were also obtained. Results: The result identified the significant association between parent’s quality of life (physical domain, psychological domain, social domain and environment domain) with all the characteristics of children with ASDs problem behavior as conduct problem, anxious, hyperactive, stereotypic and self-isolated. The result showed that positive weak correlation between parent’s quality of life (physical health, psychological, social relationships and environment) with children with ASD’s social behavior (0 <rs<0.25). Conclusion: For the problem behavior (conduct problem, insecure, hyperactive, self-injury and overly sensitive) of the children with ASD showed the positive correlation with respondent four domains of quality of life except self-isolation.

Differences of cultural and physical activity of daily life are found between tribal and non-tribal community in India. Tribal group also called ethnic group of community other than tribal community people call non-tribal people. The present research study was to find out front and rear arm elbow angle and compare them in acceleration phase for tribal and non-tribal school boys. Total 120 tribal and non-tribal school boys were selected as subject. The subject was divided the age groups i.e., 10-11 yrs., 12-13 yrs. and 14-15 yrs. each age group consists 20 tribal and 20 non-tribal boys. The videography was done during 100 m sprinting. The front and rear arm elbow angle analyzed from video graphic movement by Kinovea 0.8.15 Motion analysis software. The average front arm elbow angle of (10-11) yrs., (12-13) yrs. and (14-15) yrs. tribal boys were 77.000, 78.000 and 81.600 whereas non-tribal boys were 78.850, 81.350 and 85.900 respectively. The front arm elbow angle in acceleration phase increased with increase of age for both tribal and non-tribal boys and front arm elbow angle increased towards the 900 tribal and non-tribal sections. Similarly, the rear arm elbow angle for (10-11) yrs., (12-13) yrs. and (14-15) yrs. tribal boys were 112.250, 105.550 and 113.450 whereas non-tribal boys were 111.050, 110.100 and 108.000 respectively. The rear arm elbow angle decreased with increase of age for tribal and non-tribal groups except one tribal group. The rear arm elbow angle was more than the 900 and it occur 105.550 to 113.450 for tribal whereas 108.000 to 111.050 for non-tribal boys. The difference between tribal and non-tribal school boys for front and rear arm elbow angle was not statistically significant at 0.05 level of significant.

The aim of this study was to assess and compare blood glucose, lactate and pyruvate concentrations changes during Wingate exercise and 10 min post-exercise recovery in football players with different aerobic capacity levels. Blood glucose, lactate and pyruvate concentrations were measured in 27 amateur football players during supramaximal Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT). The subjects were divided into two groups: group1, 16 subjects with maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) values whose were higher than 60 ml/kg/min; group 2, 11 subjects with VO2max values lower than 55 ml/kg/min. All subjects performed WAnT after determining the VO2max using an incremental test. The WAnT was performed on an Ergomedic cycle ergometer. Blood samples were collected at rest, at the stop of WAnT and during the 10 minutes’ recovery (following WAnT). Only slight and no significant decrease was observed during WAnT for blood glucose: 5.5±0.3 mmol/L vs 4.9±0.3 mmol/L, group 2. Very large increases in lactate and pyruvates concentrations were found at the WAnT stop: 12.41±0.15 mmol/L vs 1.57±0.14 mmol/L for group 1, 13.87±0.12 mmol/L vs 1.84±0.25 mmol/L for group 2. The peaks of [La] were observed at 2 min post-exercise WAnT: 12.83±0.23 mmol/L and 14.59±0.32 mmol/L respectively. The same trend was observed for pyruvate concentrations. Blood [La] concentrations measured during 2 min to 10 min recovery decreased significantly, and were significantly and negatively correlated with VO2maw. This study clearly confirm that a brief and supramaximal Wingate exercise induced higher lactate and pyruvates concentrations increase in football players with high VO2max level than others with low VO2max level. The major responsible factor is glycolytic capacity.

The sky-squares are the institutions that provide both military and socio-cultural services within the structure of the period. In the cities of the Seljuk Empire, the squares gave a regular service in the administration of the officer. In the settlements near the Seljuk fortresses, they also served under the control of the court of residence under the Castle Guard. In the Turkish tribes outside the settlement areas, both military and socio-cultural activities continued in the tradition of decentralized management coming from the Turkic Khaganate and in open and closed upland and winter sports houses. On the other hand, the understanding of power and other states to accept them to make the Seljuk Empire connected to the power of the country as well as seize the trade routes, an important element of the economy seized the trade routes to hold and to organize the commercial activities in a comfortable, easy and safe way, The Seljuk Empire determined its bio-policy on the people of the country as "to be the best fighting society ". To reach the determined bio-policy, it has used all its facilities in an organized way. The Seljuk Empire has achieved this goal thanks to the sky-squares. In addition to military physical education, Sky-squares, which was opened to the use of people living in the city on certain days of the week, contributed both to the activity of the people in various sports branches and to the establishment of the enterprises that produce the sports branch of their interest and to the Seljuk economy.
