Background: Reaction time is very important for our eprocessing and motor performance. Yoga has shown significant results in decreasing Reaction time. Hence, this study was carried out to find out the shortstudents. Method: This study was an experimental study performed on 42 female volunteers (21 in each group) for 2 weeks between the age group of 19exercises and 21 subjects in the experimental gromeasured in both the groups using Deary Liewald Reaction time task software pre and post 2 weeks intervention. Reaction time was measured again at the end of 3Results: The Suryanamaskar group showed significant difference when compared to the control group (p value <0.001) There was a significant difference seen in the pre and post readings of Suryanamaskar group (pvalue<0.001) Conclusion: Suryanamaskar produced significant shortening of Reaction time in can be beneficial in improving reaction time as an effective means to improve neuromuscular abilities.Keywords:Reaction time, Suryanamaskar, Yoga.INTRODUCTION Reaction time is one of the most important components of motor movements. It is a purposeful voluntary response to external stimulus. The time taken between application of the stimulus and its appropriate voluntary response is called the reaction time.1Reaction time is a simple and noninvasive test for central as well as peripheral neural structures.2It is expressed in milliseconds.
