Selected from who wish to enroll in the Physical Education andKinesiology department. Age (19.23 2.7 years). Physical fitness was assessed by exercise tests (power, strength,strength endurance, agility, speed, and coordination). Three body composition indicators were used: sum of fourskinfolds (4SF), waist adjusted for height (W/h) and body mass index (BMI).Results: sum of four skinfolds (4SF) was the best-predicted fitness among the students to explaining 92% ofthe fitness variance. In addition, all body composition variables similarly predicted fitness among the students.Conclusion: The relationship between body composition and fitness is strong.
