This study investigated the influence of sports participation on physical fitness among degree college students. To achieve the purpose, research scholar has chosen two physical fitness components (Endurance and Strength) and selected 15 male Students (athletes) who are participated and participating in the inter-collegiate and inter-university sports competition and divided in to two groups and 15 non-athletes from degree college who are not participated to any sports at any level of competition, Group-I (Endurance and strength - N-15) as experimental group, Grope-II as Controlled (Non-athletes= N-15). Endurance was assessed using a 600meter run and walk test, Strength was assessed using vertical jump test, All the subjects performed the tests, collected data were analysed using a mean value. A confidence level of 0.05 was considered significant. The results presented that the level of endurance and strength of the subjects were found significant. There were also statistically significant differences identified between the 2 variables. The Group-I had higher Strength and Endurance compared to controlled group. This study provides support to the fact that there are some influences of sports participation on the physical fitness components of degree college students.
