  • The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of yoga and brisk walking on selected Lipid Profiles of Non Insulin Dependent Diabetic Patients. For this purpose, Forty five (N=45) aged between 35 to 45 years working men in a private company at Hosur, Tamilnadu, India were randomly selected as subjects. The training programme was designed for 12 weeks and Experimental group I (n=15) underwent Yoga practices, Experimental group II (n=15) underwent brisk walking for 5 days per week for 12 weeks, group III acted as Control group, they were not allowed to involve any type of physical activities. Yoga and brisk walking were selected as Independent variables. Pre tests and Post test were conducted for all the subjects on the selected lipid Profiles of HDL (High Density Lipo Protein) LDL (Low Density Lipo Protein). The collected data were analysed by using Dependent ‘t - test’ and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to find out the effect of Yoga and brisk walking on selected Lipid Profiles and scheffe’s Post hoc method was used for testing the significance between paired adjusted means. The level of significance was 0.05. The results of the study indicated that the effect of yoga and brisk walking had significantly improved the HDL (High Density Lipo Protein) and LDL (Low Density Lipo Protein) of Non Insulin Dependent Diabetic Patients.
