摘要:Background: A comparative study of endurance capacity between sports and normal college girls and to show the importance of sports in physical fitness among college students. Method: The present study was carried out in 120 college girls, Ambajogai. The cases (60 girls) were involved in sports like football, hockey, volleyball etc. and the controls (60girls) were not involved in sports. The parameters compared between cases and controls are -1) breath holding test, 2) 40 mmHg endurance test 3) maximum voluntary contraction by handgrip dynamometer 4) Vo2 max by using Harward step test and Astrand Ryhming nomogram. Result: All above parameters were significantly increased in sports girls than controls by applying ‘Z’ test. Conclusion: Endurance capacity is statistically increased in sport girls than normal. Hence, we suggest here that students should get involve in sports and it should be made a compulsory subject in colleges. So that students develop mental and physical health to overcome stress in education. Key words: Astrand Ryhming nomogram, Endurance test, Handgrip dynamometer, Vo2 max
