Abstract
The purpose of study was to determine the effect of Pilates Calisthenics and Combination of Pilates and Calisthenics Exercise on Body Mass Index of School Boys. To achieve the purpose of the study Sixty (60) school boys studying in Raj English School of Sarnath, Varanasi, and U.P. region were selected as subject at randomly and their range of age is between 14 to 16 years. The study was confined to the following body mass index variables. Body Mass Index was measured by manually. Height measurement was taken to the nearest in centimeter and weight was recorded in kilograms. To find out the variance in the selected criterion variables due to the application of independent variables, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied and the level of significance was set at the 0.05 on each criterion variables. The above result indicated that experimental group (Pilates, Calisthenics and Combined exercise group) were significantly improved the body mass index, when compared with the control group..
