Physical Fitness Index (PFI) is considered an important and valuable parameter in the field of sports and exercise science. The main aim of this study is to assess and compare the physical fitness and cardio respiratory fitness in terms of maximum aerobic capacity (VO2max) among the urban female students and rural female students of West Bengal. Forty sedentary young female students from each of the urban as well as rural sectors of West Bengal were recruited by simple random sampling. PFI was determined by Harvard step test and VO2max was determined by the indirect Queen’s college step test (QCT) (QCT is the simplest one to determine cardio respiratory fitness in terms of maximum oxygen uptake) method for each group of subjects. From this study it can be concluded that the rural female students do not have a statistical higher significant value of PFI and VO2max score than the urban female students. No significant correlation was found between age and PFI in both groups (urban & rural) of students. PFI was found to have significant negative correlation with body weight, BSA, BMI with urban female students and body height, weight and BSA with the rural female students. PFI score of urban and rural female students is positively and highly correlated with VO2max (QCT).

Forty sedentary young female students from each of the urban as well as rural sectors of West Bengal were recruited by simple random sampling. PFI was determined by Harvard step test and VO2max was determined by the indirect Queen’s college step test (QCT) (QCT is the simplest one to determine cardio respiratory fitness in terms of maximum oxygen uptake) method for each group of subjects. From this study it can be concluded that the rural female students do not have a statistical higher significant value of PFI and VO2max score than the urban female students. No significant correlation was found between age and PFI in both groups (urban & rural) of students. PFI was found to have significant negative correlation with body weight, BSA, BMI with urban female students and body height, weight and BSA with the rural female students. PFI score of urban and rural female students is positively and highly correlated with VO2max (QCT).
