Anthropometrics Characteristics and Physical Fitness of Private and Government School Boys of Lodhran, Punjab, Pakistan
This study is the comparison of the anthropometric and physical fitness of schoolboys. Data was collected from government (n = 125) and private (n = 125), ten -to- years old. An independent t-test was applied to compare stature, body mass, girths, lengths, push-ups, standing broad jump, agility and 30-meter dash. Results showed the private schoolboys were significantly superior to the government schoolboys in body mass, girths and inferior in 30-meter dash and agility. It is concluded the private school boys have a better option of food intake and transportation to reach school than the government schoolboys. Therefore, private school boys were higher in body mass and girths than the government schoolboys. It also concluded physical activity like walking play a vital role in the growth and fitness of schoolboys. Thus, it is suggested parents should focus on the growth and fitness of schoolboys by giving proper exercise time and a balanced diet.
