Abstract
Physical fitness, especially health-related physical fitness is one aspects closely associated with
good health. Participation in regular physical activities is rapidly decreased specially in the
college. In collage level professional physical education courses(practical and theoretical) are
offered for both linear physical education and cluster Aesthetics only. Due to this, ,this research
was conducted to identify the difference points between them in some selected physical fitness
parameters and also aimed to assess and compare physical education verses Aesthetics students
in selected physical fitness by formulating null hypotheses to accept or reject( whether there is
significant difference between physical education and aesthetics group students) by deciding the
variables which cause the effect on some behavior of research subjects as independent variables
(different health and physical education courses given to both groups in practice or in theory )
to this research and dependant variables of physical fitness and control variables' such as sex
difference(for group), age, weight, height, attitude/ interest, academic achievement, balanced
diet, and other external factors. To attain this objective 80 research subjects are selected from
third year linear and cluster group students as the subject of the research from total population of
2407 of college students both by simple random ( lottery ) and purposive sampling method were
selected, and the data were collected through measure by their respective measuring device and
procedures. To do this qusi-experimental was designed and statistical tools of independent
sample t-test and one/single sample t-test with 5% error ,two tail hypothesis test from the
SPSS version-19 were implemented. Finally relative to research subjects generally there is no
significance difference between two groups in selected physical finesses variables in independent
sample t-test but significance difference of both groups from standard range mean value in
single sample t-test .when we compare the mean relatively linear groups have better
performance. Based on this the researcher recommend that students should participate in regular
physical exercise in order to enhance their fitness level.
