To achieve this purpose (N=15000) subjects were selected from Tamil Nadu (TN), Karnataka (KA), Kerala (KL),Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Puducherry (PY). Each state (n=3000) various districts of each state and each age group (n=750). The age group of subjects was 13 to 16 years. Muscular strength assessed with push–ups and muscular endurance assessed with sit–ups and flexibility was assessed with sit and reach test. The collected data treated with ANOVA, if obtained �F�ratio is significant; scheffe�s post test was to used to know the paired mean difference. The level of significant fixed at 0.05. The result of the study shows that muscular strength PY boys 13yrs were better followed by KL, TN, KA and AP boys. 14 yrs AP boys better strength followed by KL, TN, AP and KA boys. 15 yrs PY boys better followed by KL, TN, AP and KA boys. 16 yrs KL boys were better strength followed by PY, TN, KA and AP boys. Muscular endurance of 13 yrs,14 yrs, 15 yrs and 16 yrs PY boys better muscular endurance followed by KA,KL,TN and AP boys. Flexibility better 13 yrs, 14 yrs, 15 yrs and 16 yrs KL boys followed KA, PY, TN and AP boys.
