Yoga and Exercise was reduced the weight of the children and improving the cognitive functions of the child. The study was aimed to a study to evaluate the effectiveness of Multi component therapy on Weight, Memory and Concentration among Overweight children in selected schools at Dharapuram. The research approach used for the study was evaluative approach. The research design used for the present study was quasi experimental non equivalent control group pre test post test only design. The conceptual framework was based on Modified Daniel. L. Stuffle Beam’s Evaluation Model. The screening done and sample was selected. The samples were selected by non - probability purposive sampling technique. Sample size was 60 children out of which 30 were in experimental group and 30 were in control group. The children weight being measured by using a digital weighing machine using BMI Calculation (IAP Body Mass Index (BMI) chart 2015), memory measured by using Modified IAP Standard and Memory Assessment and concentration measured by using Modified James M Swanson Concentration Assessment Rating Scale. The Multi component therapy was administered daily for a period of 30 days to overweight children. The data were analyzed and tabulated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean pre test weight 54.7(SD +6.9) and post test weight 54.2(SD+7.0) respectively. The mean post test value was lower than the mean pre test value with the mean difference of 0.5. The mean pre test level of memory 29(SD+6.6) and post test level of memory 46.8(SD+11.8) respectively. The mean post test value was higher than the mean pre test value with the mean difference is 17.8. The mean pre test level of concentration 45(SD+4.4) and post test level of concentration 64.5(SD+5.5) respectively. The mean post test value was higher than the mean pre test value with the mean difference is 19.5. The calculated independent “t” test value was 2.4 which was significant of p<0.05 level. The calculated independent “t” test value was 11.4, which was significant at p<0.05 level. The calculated independent “t” test value was 18 which was significant at p<0.05 level. There was a weak negative correlation between weight and memory. The r value was -0.17. There was a weak negative correlation between concentration and weight. The r value was - 0.28. There was a positive correlation between memory and concentration. The r value was 0.52. The study findings revealed that Multi component therapy was convenient, easy to do, highly feasible to reduce weight and improves the health and well being of the children.
