Preksha Meditation & Human Health: 1.1 Intra-Group Comparison Of Body Weight For Control And Experimental Group Of Subjects (Table Nos.BW1, BW2 And BW3) @ HereNow4U

The basal mean values of the body weight in control and experimental group of subjects were found to be 57.6 ± 3.3 kg. and 57.4 ± 4.21 kg. respectively. After three months of experimental intervention the mean body weight of experimental group of subjects was insignificantly reduced to 56.8 ± 3.32 kg., while it remained almost same in control group, the value being 57.66 ± 3.26 kg. (Table BW1).

A slight but continuous insignificant reduction in the body weight of experimental group of subjects was found during 1^st and 2^nd follow-up phases (56.8 ± 3.32 kg. and 56.56 ± 3.08 kg. respectively). Whereas, the body weight of the control group of subjects was found to be slightly but insignificantly increased during similar phases of observation (57.66 ± 3.29 kg. and 58 ± 3.23 kg.) (Table BW3).
