Material and Methods: Forty-five (N=45) male subjects, ages 18 to 25, from the Department of Physical Education at Guru Nanak Dev University in Amritsar, Punjab, India, participated in the observational research study. The subsequent physical fitness variables were measured viz., Strength and Power Abilities (viz., Muscular Strength & Muscular Power), Endurance Abilities (viz., Muscular Endurance), Basic Movement Patterns (viz., Running Speed, Running Agility, Jumping Ability & Throwing Ability), Neuromuscular Abilities (Flexibility & Balance).

Statistical Analysis: The normality of the data was checked by using the Shapiro-Wilk (SW) Test of Normality. Under the data analysis, exploration of data was made with descriptive statistics and graphical analysis. Distribution of Grades under Normal Distribution was used, further it was sorted into five grades i.e., Excellent, Good, Average, Poor & Very Poor Descriptive and percentile statistics calculator was used for data analysis.
