Preksha Meditation & Human Health: 4.6.1 Intra-Group Comparison Of ST Interval Values Of Experimental And Control Group Of Subjects (Table Nos. E 17 & E 18). @ HereNow4U

The basal mean 'alues of ST interval in control and experimental group of subjects were 0.3093 ±.02248 and 0.3087 ± 0.02583 sec. After 2 months of yogic practices, the values in both groups remain same. But after 6 and 12 months of intervention experimental group showed statistically significant (P < 0.0005) reduction, whereas in control no such changes were noticed (Table E 17).

The difference in the mean values of ST interval were found to be insignificant when its values in control group were compared with that of experimental group at various intervals as depicted in table E 19; Fig. R 10.
