Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify the motor fitness of rural and urban students. 40 male students, 20 rural and 20 urban from various schools of Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh, India were selected as subjects for the study. Execution criteria were the presence of chronic medical condition such as asthma, heart disease or any other condition that would put the subject at risk when performing the Motor Fitness components. The data was collected by use of measurements of height & weight as well as by application of tests like, running, jumping, stepping, situps etc. The data was analyzed with the help of statistical procedure in which arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t - test were employed. The mean age of rural students was 16.01 years, height was 164.40 cm. and the weight was 52.48 kg. On other hand the mean (+S.D.) age of the urban students was 16.32 years, height 164.50cm and weight 54.67kg. Significant difference in the agility (t=3.11, p<.05) was found between rural and urban students, urban students was found to be greater agility as compared to rural students while comparing speed ability (t= 3.26, p<.05) significant difference was found between rural & urban students. Urban students incur significantly less speed ability as compare to rural students. Meanwhile, significant difference was found in endurance ability (t=5.96, p<.05) between rural and urban students. Rural students were found to have got more cardio vascular efficiency as compare to urban students. While comparing explosive strength between rural and urban students, significance difference was found (t=6.53, p<0.5). Rural students were strongest as compared to their counterpart. Whilst no significant difference in the muscular strength was found between two groups students.
