The objective of the study was to find out the "Effect of asanas on dynamic balance of sedentary women". For the purpose of the study sixty sedentary women were selected purposively from Bolpur, Birbhum, West Bengal, India as the subject. They were categorized into two age group of 30 to 40 years (n-30) and 41 to 50 years (n-30). Each age group were also divided into two-experimental group (n-15) and control group (n-15). Dynamic balance was selected as the variable for the study. Eight weeks training of the selected asanas were given to both the experimental groups. Pre-test and post-test data of all the groups were taken by using modified bass test. To calculate the data descriptive statistics, Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA) and LSD post-hoc test were used. The level of significance was set at 0.05 level. The result revealed the significant effect on dynamic balance of the age of 30-40 years group (F-13.114) but not significant for 41-50 years group (F-3.752). On the basis of the result, it was concluded that asanas have significant effect on dynamic balance of younger aged sedentary women group.

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of two bowling spells (Four and Eight over) on information processing speed. Twenty (20) male pace bowlers aged 19.55±1.61years were purposively selected and were assessed for processing speed under the conditions of rest (pre-test), immediately after four over (post-test1) and immediately after eight over (post-test2). The data were obtained by computerized neurocognitive test CNS Vital Sign (VS4). The mean score of processing speed in pretest 87.25±9.486, post-test1 91.35±8.659 and post-test2 96.5±8.432. Repeated measure ANOVArevealed that there was signicant effect of both the bowling spells on processing speed of cognitive function. The improvement may be due to the nature of the bowling protocol and attentional approach that is more strategic. From the result of the study, it can be concluded that bowling spells of four and also eight over are benecial for processing speed of cognitive function.

The aim of the study was to examine the effect of novel pace bowling protocol on executive function. Twenty male pace bowlers aged 19.55±1.61years, represented in CAB organized cricket league were assessed the executive function before and after four & eight over bowling spell by following the novel pace bowling protocol developed by Simon A. Feros (2017). The executive function was assessed by using computerized neurocognitive assessment (CNS Vital Signs VS4). The mean score of Pretest, Posttest1 and Posttest2 were 95.55±6.97, 100.2±6.6 and 107.7±8.54 respectively. Repeated measure ANOVA revealed that there were significant changes in executive function after both the bowling spell compare to pretest. From the result of the study, it can be concluded that novel pace bowling protocol has beneficial effect on executive function of cognition.
