Sixty (N=60) college students from V.T.M College of Arts and Science in Arunmanai, Tamilnadu, India were chosen at random. The participants were split into three classes of twenty (n=20) each: yogic practice (n=20), resistance exercise (n=20), and control (n=20). The participants were between the ages of 18 and 21. Selected dependent variables namely such as flexibility and speed. Flexibility tested by sit and reach test  unit of measurement in centimeters. Speed tested by 50 meter dash unit of measurement in in seconds. The results were interpreted using descriptive statistics and Covariance Analysis (ANCOVA) and Scheffe's test was used. The 0.05 degree of significance was used in all situations since three groups were compared. It was found that yogic practice enhanced physical health variables such as flexibility in college students significantly. It was discovered that yogic practice greatly improved physical health variables in college students, such as speed. It was discovered that yogic practice greatly enhanced physical health variables in college students, such as agility.
