    Abstract

    Background: Physical fitness is key to a successful outcome. Physical fitness is directly related to the ability of an individual to perform physical activity or exercise. Physical fitness can be measured using cardiopulmonary efficiency tests such as the Physical Fitness Index (PFI %), which is an excellent indicator of cardiopulmonary efficiency. Body Mass Index (BMI) is often used as an indicator of obesity. Aims and Objectives: The present study is aimed to assess the relationship between physical fitness index and BMI among the students of age group 18-24 years. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done to assess the relation between physical fitness index and body mass index. A total of 150 subjects (80 males and 70 females) in the age group 18-24 years participated in the study. Descriptive data for age (years), height (m), and weight (Kg) were obtained and BMI was calculated. Physical fitness index (PFI) was measured using Chester’s step test.
