Abstract: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of yogic practices, Therapeutic exercise practices, and combined practices on resting pulse rate among low backache men. To facilitate the study, 60 low backache men were selected at random in the age group of 30 to 40 years from Magesh Physiotherapy Clinic, Annanagar, Chennai city. In this study Yogic practices were given to experimental group I and Therapeutic exercise practices were given to experimental group II and combined practices (Yogic practices and Therapeutic exercises) were given to experimental group III for the period of twelve weeks. The control group did not participate in any of the practices. The pre-test and post-test scores were determined by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence for the cases to test the hypothesis. The combined practices group showed significant improvement on resting pulse rate than the other experimental and control groups.
