…………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-
Physical fitness is a dynamic concept and is continuously growing in its importance to everyday life and health. Although being an attribute that has a genetic basis, it is also sensitive to changes in type and amount of physical activity, mortality and injury. During history, physical fitness has been always interested in by different people with different perspective. Since the creation of man, physical fitness is being along the man surviving means and to need the necessary daily needs. Fitness has been recognized from time immoral as the greatest wealth. Physiology is the study of functions of the human body. In other words, the mechanisms by which the various organs and tissues carry out their activities are considered. Emphasis is often places on the processes that control and regulate these functions. In order for the body to function optimal, conditions within the body, referred to as the internal environment, must be very carefully regulated. Therefore, many important variables, such as body temperature, blood glucose, oxygen and carbon dioxide contact of the blood, as well as electrolyte balance, are actively maintained within narrow physiological limits. The objectives of the present study were to compare these variables among different Students of Kashmir division.
Physical fitness comprises two related concepts: general fitness (a state of health and well-being), and specific fitness (a task-oriented definition based on the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations). Physical
206 fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, hygiene and rest. Physical fitness has been defined as a set of attributes or characteristics that people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical activity.

Methodology:-
During the present study, Simple Random Sampling Technique was employed and the sample size was targeted to 50 colleges in Kashmir division of Jammu and Kashmir. College Students ranged between the age group of 18 to 22 years were selected randomly. The following equipments were used for collection of data during the test.

Results and Discussion:-
During the present study the author makes the following observations, The speed of Athlete boys was found to be better than Non-Athlete boys in 60 yard dash and the significant difference between the same was found. The Explosive leg strength of Athlete boys were found to be better than Non-Athlete boys in standing broad jump and the significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes was found. Ajmer Prakesh (2008) and Jhonson (1988) observed that the variables are dependent and show the significant effect.
The Agility of Athlete boys were found to be better than Non-Athlete boys in shuttle run and showed the significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes. The pulse rate of Athlete boys was found to be better than Non-Athletes and showed the significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes. There was no significant difference between Breathing capacity of athletes and non-athletes. The Blood pressure (systolic) of Athlete boys was found to be better than Non-Athletes and showed the significant difference between Athletes and Non-Athletes. There were no significant difference between blood pressure (diastolic) of athletes and non-athletes, same results were observed by Orion (1964) and Ganesh (1998).

Conclusion:-
The statistical analysis revealed that the parameters such as 60 yard dash, standing broad jump, shuttle run ,pulse rate and systolic blood pressure significantly differ at 0.05 level of significance between different students of Kashmir division, while as in the parameters breath holding and diastolic blood pressure, there shows no significant difference among the students of Kashmir division. The reason for above results is that the Athletes used to give more stress on their physical fitness and physiological variables as compared to Non-Athletes. Their daily workout helps them to make themselves fit for any kind of daily activity or physical activity. Bibliography:-
