Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare selected physical fitness variables among
government and private school going boys. For the purpose of the study 50 boys (N=50)
boys were selected from Government and private schools of Bijnor (UP), with age ranged
from 14 to 17 year old. The selected subjects were divided into two groups, one who were
studying in government school were labelled as government group and the other who were
studying in private school were labelled as non-sports group. For the current study explosive
leg strength, muscular strength, agility and speed were selected as variables. Explosive leg
strength, muscular strength, agility and speed were measured by standing broad jump, grip
dynamometer, 4*10 yard shuttle run and 50 meter dash respectively. There was a significant
difference explosive leg strength, muscular strength, agility and speed between government
and private school going boys. Hence, we conclude that explosive leg strength, muscular
strength, agility and speed is better in government boys than private school going boys.
