Human communities have used Physical Education all over the world to develop fitness for survival in the struggle for existence, including the capacity for protection against enemies. Physical exercise, combative activities, and endurance training have been practiced in ancient times to prepare youth for the defense of the country and for developing unity in the society. Although the most opportune time for developing lifelong fitness habits in the childhood years, it is in the late teens and early twenties when a fitness consciousness among men and women is realized. At this stage in life, people reach physical maturity and the body is at its natural peak of physiological efficiency and health. However, it can be observed that in the late twenties and early thirties, the natural fitness begins to disappear. Lack of exercise begins to show its effect.

Growth and development of children is a natural process. There are many factors that contribute for growth and development. However, the factors related to heredity and environments have much more role to play. Physiologically, it is known that growth and development of human starts in the mothers' womb, which is known as prenatal period. After a child's birth, the mother takes care so that child grows. Normal growth of a child's height, structure, outlooks, organic functions etc. depends upon heredity and its nutrition, nature of learning, attitude, behavior, emotion, personality etc have common base mostly on the environment.

Surya Namaskar is a magical name in Indian history and now becoming popular all over the world, it has become a global household name. Surya Namaskar has many references in the Vedas and Puranas. Since that time this yoga has been practiced by many people all over the world. To begin one’s day with the Surya Namaskar is very beneficial as it connects the individual with the cosmos. Out of so many people interested in yoga and spirituality some persons have taken Suryanamaskar as their life style. One such person is Krzysztof Stec from Poland who loves this practice. I remember that as soon as he arrived at Vishwatmak Jangli Maharaj Ashram almost 10 years ago he was talking about and encouraging everyone to start practicing Suryanamaskar. He has been practicing it every day for many years, and in a little more than two hours he performs in excess of 1008 rounds of Suryanamaskar. Such feat is astonishing and worth praising. He has built tremendous stamina and extraordinary endurance over the years with such regular and disciplined practice. The medical practitioners in the nearby town of Kopargaon have examined him and came to conclusion that he has the physiological parameters of 25 year old youngster (as of today he is running 59 years old). Only two years ago he completed a demanding two years’ master degree program at the department of physical education at one of the primary universities of India, at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. There he had to compete and work-out with colleagues who were one third his age! Last year when he undertook 42 days’ complete fast for the Gurupurnima (anusthan), he began without water (or any food) and continued for full 23 days and later, to complete the fast, he drank only water. In spite of such severe tapasya (discipline and austerity), when most other people usually stay in bed and barely move or to help themselves get several I.V., he was so energetic and full of vitality that he was swimming daily the distance of 5 to 8 kilometers.

Free and compulsory education to all children up to the age of fourteen is a Constitutional commitment in India. At the time of adoption of the Constitution in 1950, the aim was to achieve the goal of Universal Elementary Education (UEE) within the next ten years. Keeping in view the educational facilities available in the country, at that time, the goal was far too ambitious to be achieved within a short span of ten years. Hence, the target date has to be shifted a number of times.

Tiffany M. Field, PhD, is the director of the Touch Research Institutes at the University of Miami School of Medicine and Fielding Graduate University. She is recipient of the American Psychological Association Distinguished Young Scientist Award and has had a Research Scientist Award from the NIH for her research career. She is the author of Infancy, The Amazing Infant, Children A to Z, Adolescents A to Z, Heartbreak, Advances in Touch, Touch Therapy, Massage Therapy Research, and Complementary and Alternative Therapies, the editor of a series of volumes on High-Risk Infants, and on Stress & Coping, and the author of over 450 journal papers. This book is a review of recent literature on yoga research. First, the review covers the physiological effects of yoga on heartrate and blood pressure followed by the physical effects on balance and flexibility, muscle strength, weight loss and sexual function. Psychological problems that are affected by yoga are then summarized including anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder and depression, as well as physical conditions including pain syndromes, cardiovascular, autoimmune and immune conditions. Finally, separate sections are devoted to yoga effects on pregnancy, children and adolescents and the aging. Potential underlying mechanisms are proposed including the stimulation of pressure receptors leading to enhanced vagal activity and reduced cortisol. The reduction in that stress hormone may, in turn, contribute to several positive effects including enhanced immune function and lower prematurity rates.
