The total samples consists of 50 subjects out of them 25 were sportsmen and 25 were non sportsperson samples. The age level was ranging from 16 to 19 years. Harvard step test was used to collect the pulse rate of sportsmen and non sportsmen. To assess the cardiovascular ability of sportsperson and non sportsperson ‘t’ test was applied. The mean score of Sportsperson on resting pulse was 68.40 and SD was 3.69 whereas it was 75.24 and 5.50 respectively for non sportspersons. The calculated ‘t’ value was 5.16 which was greater than the table value (1.68). It is clear with the result that it is due to regular participation in Sports and training. The pulse was counted after 1 min of exercise, the mean score of Sportsperson on was 88.72 and SD 3.95 whereas it was 102.24 and 5.35 respectively for non sportspersons. The calculated ‘t’ value was 10.16 which was greater than the table value (1.68). It is clear with the result that it is due to regular participation in Sports and training.
