Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical fitness, body composition and blood pressure in active and passive students. This study was correlational research method. The subjects were Tehran University male students aged 20-27 years.  A total of 100 persons were selected. The results showed a significant inverse relationship between physical fitness and body composition only in the vertical jump and BMI, a significant relationship between physical fitness and blood pressure and systolic blood pressure only in the sit-up and a significant relationship between body composition and blood pressure only between BMI and diastolic BP and a significant relationship between body composition and body fat percentage among active students. We can conclude that it is desirable to keep the students' physical fitness in desirable level to avoid problems such as high blood pressure, high BMI and high fat percentage.
Keywords: physical fitness, body composition, blood pressure
