This study was conducted in rural and urban students (Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore) during the month of July 2018. The present study focused on using convenient sampling to select students from one University. After chosen the specific University, I used the systematic random sampling method to select rural and urban students.

The physiological status tests were taken from urban and rural students in same condition. The tests were included: cardio – respiratory endurance, blood pressure and heart rate. Descriptive (average, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t- test) were used for data analysis.
