The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical fitness and body composition with overall health of non-athlete high school boys of Miandoab in 2014-2015 school year. One hundred one students were selected by convenience sampling method. To check the physical fitness, subjects' indices such abdominal muscle endurance (sit up), flexibility (seated hand stretch to toe), cardiorespiratory endurance (548 meter race), agility (4 in 9 meters race) shoulder girdle muscles endurance (modified horizontal bar), sprint (45 meters), and body composition by measuring subcutaneous fat in triceps and calf using Slater et al formula were measured. To check the general health status, General Health Questionnaire was used. Analysis of the data showed that there was no significant relationship between body composition components (P=0.045). No significant relationship was observed between physical fitness and general health subscales (P=0.292), which may be due to sampling foolproof. There was a significant relationship between flexibility and cardio-respiratory endurance with some general health measures (P=0.038). The negative correlation between the level of physical fitness and general health indicators and its scores' getting lower indicate a lack of physical and mental health. Moreover, the significance of the relationship between flexibility and cardio-respiratory endurance with indices of general health factors may be due to the impact of fitness elements on individuals' health.
The purpose of the present study was to find out the relationship between physical fitness and body mass index of Grade VIII school boys, age ranging from 13 to16 years of Government and Private School of Imphal West District (Zone II) of Manipur. Five items of physical fitness test i.e. Vertical Jump, Sit-ups, Push ups, 300 m run and 1.5 mile run were conducted on 400 Grade VIII school children, i.e. 200 boys from Government School and 200 boys from Private School and BMI was calculated by using their body weight and standing height. By computing the data with statistical technique SPSS Software, it was found that Government School boys were older and heavier whereas lower in height than the Private School boys. Their age and weight averages were, 14.5 and 14 years and 44.6 and 43.9 kg and range between 13.0 - 16.0 years of similar age in both schools. Whereas in height 1.57 and 1.61 m with range of 1.45.00 - 1.76 m and 1.41 - 1.77 m respectively, in BMI 18.06 and 16.97 with range of 14.40 – 23.20 and 14.60 – 22.00 respectively. And, in respect of their physical fitness parameter like Vertical jump, Sit-ups, Push-ups, 300m run and 1.5 mile run were found as, 35.31 ± 2.64, 22.75 ± 4.6, 21.35 ± 3.95, 1.44 ± 0.23 and 12.43 ± 0.21 for Government School boys and for Private school boys 37.45 ± 3.38, 28.91 ±7.14, 27.34 ± 6.42, 1.07 ± 0.31 and 12.09 ± 0.32 respectively. Analysis of this score by using SPSS statistical technique found that physical fitness items of Government School boys’ Sit-ups and 1.5 mile run have found relationship at 0.9 level with their BMI, followed by Vertical jump at 0.5 level. While Push-ups and 300 m run have less relationship with their BMI at 0.04 and 0.08 level respectively. In case of Private School boys, relationship between BMI and Vertical jump is at 0.12 level and has low relationship, while 1.5 mile run, 300 m run, Sit-ups and Push-ups has less relationship at 0.07, 0.001, 0.000 and 0.000 level respectively with their BMI. The finding reveals that there is significant relationship between BMI and physical fitness parameters at different level on Government School boys and Private School boys of Imphal West (Zone II) of Manipur.

Comparative Study on Health Related Physical Fitness Between Tribal and Non Tribal School Going Boys2015 •
The health related physical fitness has been associated mainly with the physical well-being, which ultimately influence the mental and social qualities. The importance of health related physical fitness depends on activities that focus not only of improving the physical health but also the daily life style of one self. The main purposes of this study were to compare the status of health related physical fitness of school going boys between tribal and non-tribal students. Thirty subjects on each group of tribal and non-tribal in the age group of 12–14 yrs. from a secondary school were chosen randomly for the present study. The criterias were cardiorespiratory endurance, abdominal strength endurance, upper body strength endurance, flexibility, and body composition which were measured by 1 mile run & walk, curl-ups, push-ups, V-sit & reach and body mass index. The result revealed that the non-tribal students have more flexibility, abdominal strength endurance and higher BMI than the tr...

HEALTH RELATED FITNESS AMONG THE CHILDREN OF GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF PUNJABFor the purpose of the study, total number of 100 subjects age ranged from 14-19 years old was selected from government and private school of Punjab. The subjects were randomly selected. The subjects were made thoroughly aware regarding the objectives of the study and different Health Related Fitness variables (Cardio-respiratory Endurance, Muscular Strength & Endurance, flexibility and Body Composition) were selected for this present study. The independent t test was applied to analyze the obtained data at level of significance 0.05 and the results indicates that a significant difference was found in the Cardio-respiratory Endurance, Muscular Strength & Endurance, and Body Composition of the government and private school of Punjab whereas, an insignificant difference was found in the Flexibility of government and private school of Punjab.

Health based physical fitness level by gender among form six sports science student in the state of kedah2019 •
Background: Physical fitness has a strong relationship with health and academic achievement. This study aims to identify the health-related physical fitness level among Form Six Sports Science students in the State of Kedah by gender. Methods: 225 students (107 male and 118 female) were purposively selected to participate in this descriptive study. This study was conducted using the Prudential FITNESSGRAM® test battery instrument, which introduced by Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research, (1992). Researchers determine the physical fitness level of the subjects using five test items: cardiovascular endurance, muscle endurance, muscle strength, flexibility, and body mass index (BMI). Results: The findings use descriptive statistical analysis to identify the physical fitness level based on health components using the norms developed by Elumalai et al. (2019). The overall fitness analysis showed that almost 50% of boys and girls were in the range of a good level. Around 20% were in the range of moderate and very good respectively. Meanwhile , less than 5% were excellent in both genders. Analysis based on separate components showed most of the subjects, around 80% were in the range of moderate to very good. Conclusion: This study indicates that Form Six Sports Science student's physical fitness should be tested and evaluated before enrolling in Form Six sports Science program. This will ensure that they are healthy and have the quality as expected for future sports personals towards the development of the Malaysian sports industry.

Physical fitness characteristics of Omani primary school children according to body mass index2018 •
There is evidence that children with high cardiorespiratory fitness and normal body mass index (BMI) have less risk of non communicable diseases (NCDs), however limited research was undertaken in Omani children. Therefore the aims of the present study were to describe body composition and physical fitness of a large cohort of Omani school children of both genders, and to investigate the effects of weight status on physical fitness. Three hundred and fourteen Omani school children aged 9 to 10 years old took part in anthropometric assessments, body composition and fitness tests, including handgrip strength, the basketball chest pass, broad jump, 20-m sprint, four 10-m shuttle agility, 30-s sit-up, and multistage fitness test (MSFT). Obese boys and girls performed worse than normal-weight children in sprint, agility and endurance. In addition, fitness measures in the overweight group and underweight groups were not significantly different from other groups, except a better handgrip st...
