A RELATIVE STUDY OF PHYSICAL FITNESS AMONG KHO-KHO AND KABADDI FEMALE PLAYERS

Fitness is an individual matter which implies the ability of each person to live more potentiality and effectively. It is a general state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports, occupant ions and daily activities. Physical fitness is generally achieved through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise and sufficient rest. Effective living depends upon the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual components of fitness. The term physical fitness means more than muscular strength and stamina; it implies efficient performance in exercise or work and a reasonable means of skill in the performance of selected physical activities. It is a measure of the body's ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations. Physical fitness and good health appear to be almost synonymous, but they are not exactly so; a man who is healthy may not be physically fit. The amount of required physical fitness differs from one occupation to another. Physical activity has important implications for the health and well being of all individuals. Easy life has negatively influenced the development and maintenance of physical fitness.
