capacity, blood pressure (Systolic and Diastolic), Vital capacity, Pulse rate
and respiratory rate etc of the selected subjects reliable equipment were used.
Breath holding capacity was measured with stopwatch, Blood pressure by
sphygmomanometer, vital capacity by Spirometer, Pulse rate by Pulse oxiometer
and respiratory rate by stopwatch. The duration of the training period was
limited to twelve weeks and practice daily from Monday to Saturday. The
