India has traditionally been a society that has emphasised physical activity, exercise, and many sports to promote mental and physical well-being and recreation. The age-old practices of yoga and pranayama indicate intricate knowledge about the body-mind relationship that has been developed by ancestors. Until now, this knowledge did not find a way into modern India, though it became a well-established science in the western developed world.
Due to increased sports participation, competitions, and increased awareness about the benefits of such participation, allied sports sciences like sports management, sports physiotherapy, sports exercise psychology, etc. have begun developing in India.
