Background: Yoga is mind-body technique involving a set of physical exercises performed in synchronization with breathing, relaxation and meditation. ?Deaf and Dumb? is used to describe persons who are unable to hear the spoken words of others, and who, consequently, remain dumb. In this present study an attempt has been made to study the impact of selected yogic exercises on the visual perception, some health related fitness factors, alpha rhythm of cerebral cortex and attention bias in cerebellar hemisphere in the especially able female students. Methods: In this study we have taken 60 female subjects and they were divided into two group namely control and experimental with equal size i.e.30 subjects in each group. Various analyses were done according to the standard protocols. Results: The results of this present study showed that selected yogic exercises play an important role in development of some specific neuropsychological parameters in especially able female school children. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that improvement of specific neurological, neuropsychological functions and specific fitness components and their integration, remedial training, may focus upon one area where yogic exercises play an important role in specially able female school students.
