Abstract
Physical fitness depends on a number of features like health, physical structure of the person, nutrition, rest and sleep, altitude, habit, physical environment of the place of residence and its climate. Though Bangladesh and India are two neighboring independent countries with dissimilarities in physical environment, economical condition, religion and food habits.
Eighty adolescent school boys, forty from Khash Mothurapur High School and Bahirmadi High School in the district of Kushtia in Bangladesh and forty from Akrampur High School and Govt. Basic Cum Multipurpose High School of Banipur in the district of North 24 Parganas, West Bengal in India, were chosen at random for the present study. The age of the subjects ranged from 14 years to 16 years, as per their school records. Aahper Youth Fitness Test' was selected as a tool of investigation. Data was collected in early 2017.
Result of the study shows insignificant difference. This outcome might be due to the fact that the subjects chosen for the study were from Kushtia district in Bangladesh and North 24 Parganas in the state of West Bengal in India, which are adjacent to one another. Thus the climatic condition, altitude, food habits, environmental condition, living style, body structure, social, cultural and psychological conditions of both the districts or the two countries are almost the same.
Adolescents of Bangladesh and India (West Bengal) were not found considerably different in respect of overall Physical Fitness. There was no significant difference among the adolescents of the two countries in any of the fitness components as like as leg strength, abdominal strength, shoulder strength, speed, agility and endurance.
