Fifty (N-50) University level male and female yoga players were selected as subjects and they were further divided into two groups as per the University they played for namely Chaudhary Devi Lal University (CDLU) and Maharishi Dayanand University (MDU). Each group comprised 25 players each. The single group pre and post design was used for data collection. Problem Solving Ability of the players was measured by using Problem Solving Ability Test (PSAT- d) developed by L.N. Dubey. Problem Solving Ability of players were measured before and after 4 weeks.
