Brief Summary

Physical fitness is state of health and wellbeing, it determines ability of body to perform sports or daily physical activities. Physical fitness is related to our cardiorespiratory fitness level, as cardiorespiratory fitness levels used for decreasing chronic diseases, promoting overall cardiovascular and general body health, decreasing the chance of developing disorders due to poor physical fitness. Different tests will be used for the measurement of physical fitness in school going children such as 1. height and weight, 2.waist circumference, 3.triceps skinfold thickness, 4.subscapular skinfold thickness, 5.standing long jump test, 6.handgrip strength test, 7. 20 m shuttle run test, 8. 4x10 m shuttle run test. This study will be Cross-sectional study and will be conducted in schools in order to determine physical fitness level in school going children and adolescents between age 10-17-year-old. Data will be collected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. Early determination of physical fitness level in school going children will be helpful, to promote their health status and to prevent the incidence of cardiovascular disorders.
