Abstract : Aim and Objective: The main goal is to find out if yoga treatment may help men with varicose veins who are diagnosed with less discomfort and swelling in their legs.  Methods: This was an experimental study utilizing a randomized, parallel group, active controlled trail design to determine the effect of yoga therapy on the ankle brachial index in male with middle-aged, asymptomatic varicose veins. A total of sixty middle-aged males with varicose veins were chosen from Chennai city, they were split onto two groups, I and II, each with individuals of thirty. The middle-aged VV males were thought to be significantly more successful on the ankle-brachial index. Before training programme began, a preliminary ankle brachial index test was administered to two groups. Group I participants received sixty-minute yoga therapy sessions three days a week for a total of twelve weeks. Subjects in Group II (CG) were at active rest. After the study period ended, the two groups were retested using the same dependent variables. A paired "t" test was employed to know whether there was a significant differences in efficacy between the experimental and control groups. The ABI should be calculated by dividing the maximum pressure in the leg by the highest pressure in the arm, according to major international medical associations. The significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence. Results: The study's findings demonstrated that, among middle-aged male with varicose veins, the Experimental Group saw a greater degree of improvement p<0.001 in their ankle brachial index (a decrease) in comparison to the Control Group. In a confidence level of 0.05, the hypothesis was accepted. Consequently, it can be said that YT greatly helps middle-aged men with VV maintain a correct walking pattern and restore valve integrity.
