Abstract :
Fitness is the pre-requisite for any person to sustain the daily activities of life. This aim of this study was to examine the differences in levels of fitness among the rural and urban youths of Maharashtra state. For the purpose of this study a sample of 40 urban and rural youth of (15-24) years of age were selected randomly from the region of district Maharashtra using simple random sampling. The subjects were divided into two groups viz, urban youth and rural youth. The subjects were tested for selected motor fitness variables (Pull-ups, Sit-ups, Shuttle run, Standing broad jump, 50 meters dash and 600 run & walk).
