COMPARISON OF SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL FITNESS VARIABLES AMONG STUDENTS OF KASHMIR DIVISION

Physical fitness is a dynamic concept and is continuously growing in its importance to everyday life and health. Although being an attribute that has a genetic basis, it is also sensitive to changes in type and amount of physical activity, mortality and injury. The purpose of the present study is to compare the variables among sports students of Kashmir division. During the present study, 50 Sports Students studying in various Colleges of Kashmir division were selected and the sampling was done as per the Random Sampling technique. The variable selected for the study were, Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate, Blood pressure (Systolic and dia-Systolic), Breath holding capacity. The Mean, Standard deviation and ?T? value of Students was calculated. The results showed significant difference among different students (p<0.005) in case of Explosive Leg strength, Speed, Agility, Resting pulse rate and Blood pressure (Systolic), but no significant difference between Breathing capacity and Diastolic Blood pressure was observed. It is therefore concluded that the Sports students are at higher levels of their physical and physiological fitness levels which enhance their performance in sports and also in daily life activities.
