Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to compare the lung capacity and body mass index between male physical education and non-physical education students. To achieve the objective of the study, twenty five (N=25) male physical education students and twenty five (N=25) male non-physical education students were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged between 20to 26 years. To determine the significant difference between the mean scores of male physical education and non-physical education students on lung capacity and body mass index (BMI),‘t’ test was employed with the help of SPSS software. The level of significance was set at 0.05. There was significant difference obtained on lung capacity between male physical education and non-physical education students. There were no significant differences obtained on body mass index (BMI) between male physical education and non-physical education students. The finding reveals that male physical education students have significantly better in lung capacity as compare to male non-physical education students.
