        abstract = {The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of self-regulative with yoga practice and self-regulative without yoga practice on tidal volume, self-confidence and flexibility. Forty-five male hockey players aged between 19 and 25 years were selected for the study.  They were divided into three equal groups, each group consisting of fifteen subjects in which three experimental groups and one control group, in which the group I (n=15) underwent self-regulative technique with yoga practice, group II (n = 15) underwent underwent self-regulative technique without yoga practice for six days (alternative days) per week for twelve weeks and group III, acted as control, which did not participate in any training apart from their regular hockey game practice.  The subjects were tested on selected criterion variables as tidal volume, self-confidence and flexibility at prior to and immediately after the training period.  For testing the tidal volume the expirograph was used, self-confidence was assessed by using Agnihotry Rekha Self-confidence test was used and flexibility was assessed by sit and reach test,. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, between the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variable separately.  Since there were three groups involved in the present study, the Scheffé S test was used as post-hoc test.  The selected criterion variables such as tidal volume, self-confidence and flexibility were improved significantly for all the training groups when compared with the control group.},
