Total of 60 male students (30 football players and 30 non-football players) between the age group of 18 to 25 are included in the present study. Harvard step test was used as an outcome measure to assess cardiovascular fitness. According to cardiovascular endurance mean and standard deviation scores of football players was 91.74 ± 15.46 and mean and standard deviation scores among non-football players was 86.19 ± 7.79. According to fitness index scores, it was found that there is more excellent fitness index score among football players (33.33 %) as compared to non-football players (6.66 %). Thus, the present study concludes that there is better cardiovascular endurance ability among football players as compared to non-football players.
