Comparison of Various fitness Parameters for students of Different branches of Engineering

Fitness is an important parameter for Engineering Students as their job profile may test their various fitness parameters. In this research the researcher was interested in investigating if the performance score in various fitness tests varies for students of various engineering branches. Sample was selected from various engineering branches of ITM Universe, Vadodara using non-probability convenience sampling. Performance score included scores of 5 fitness tests that included 50 mt. running, 600 mt. running, Standing Broad Jump, Bend knee sit ups, and push-ups medicine ball throw. Hypothesis was tested using Krushkal Wallis test also known as H test of one-way ANOVA on ranks - a rank-based nonparametric test as the data was found not to be normally distributed. We failed to reject the null hypothesis; it was found that there is no significant difference in the performance score of students from various branches that include Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Engineering.
