Physical fitness of an individual is mainly dependent on lifestyle related factors such as daily physical activity levels. Physical fitness is also considered as the degree of ability to execute a physical task under various ambient conditions.

To obtain data 25 female students age between 18-25 years were selected randomly in each college. Six physical fitness components viz., Explosive strength, Flexibility, Agility, Balance, Muscular strength, Muscular endurance, were considered as variable for the present study. The data were collected by standard tools and techniques. Mean and standard deviation was used as descriptive t-test was used to measure the significance of different between two groups.
