Present study was based on 90 college level boys, between the age group of 19 to 22 years of KIIT University, Odisha. Randomly divided into three groups as asana group administered with scheduled asanas, physical training group with specialized exercises and control group without any specialized training, the duration of experiment was for 12 weeks. The pre and post experiment haematological and psychological variables were analysed and revealed that, both the experimental groups associated with asana and physical training showed significant gain in performance of subjects in haematological variables under present study like WBC and RBC, but influence of yogasana was significantly better than physical training for WBC. Iron concentration was improved in yoga group only and neither of the experimental groups could influence the haemoglobin (Hb) concentration of the subjects. Both anxiety and aggression were improved in both the experimental groups. Anxiety was reduced with greater intensity in asana group than in physical training group. In contrary aggression was enhanced in physical training group with significantly larger intensity than asana group.
