Body Mass Index, Physical Fitness Index, Maximal Oxygen Capacity, Physical Education
1. Introduction
Physical education curriculum at the primary level to higher education level includes a variety of team and individual sports, as well as leisure activities. Some examples of individual activities include track and field, walking, running, cycling, swimming, gymnastics and wrestling etc. and then game activities includes basketball, cricket, football, netball, hockey, volleyball, badminton, tennis etc. All activities offer additional opportunities for students to improve the different areas of physical fitness including strength, flexibility, aerobic endurance, balance, coordination and reaction time etc. Physical education students also learned anatomy physiology, nutrition, healthy habits, and individuality of needs.
Physical activity is human body movement of any type, while physical education programs use physical activity to teach children how to improve and sustain an active lifestyle. Both are important for obesity prevention and a student’s healthy development. Physical education plays a critical role in promoting physical health, mental well-being, and academic success for students. It’s important for schools and communities to work together to ensure that all students have access to quality physical education programs that are inclusive and accessible to all. By prioritizing physical education, we can help promote a healthy lifestyle and a brighter future for our students. Physical students are physically active, their results average values, as a result of engaging physical activity and teaching activity, but also in recreational activities outside the university

One of the most crucial factors to think about when evaluating a subject's cardiorespiratory efficiency is their Physical Fitness Index (PFI). The Harvard step test is used to calculate the Physical Fitness Index (PFI). The ability to recover from a difficult workout and one's level of fitness can both be determined by observing this process. Step tests are frequently used to evaluate cardiovascular and respiratory fitness. Increasing BMI lowers cardiovascular fitness by decreasing VO2 max. Changes in lifestyle should be made to maintain a healthy BMI and increase cardiovascular fitness

The risks involved in implementing BMI for adults also affect kids and teenagers. Being overweight was not found to be related to an increased risk of death for older populations; on the other hand, people at the lower end of the recommended adult BMI range showed an elevated risk. Obese people have poor cardiac function during progressive work rate exercise

The data was calculated as mean, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient Correlation. Data analyses were followed by the Microsoft Excel 2013 Software (Windows: 11 version). 0.05 level was considered statistically significant. Correlation coefficient was used to calculate PFI and BMI of physical education students. On the other correlation was calculated between VO2max and BMI of physical education students.

4. Discussion
In the present study, physical fitness index and body mass index found no significant relationship of male, female students and both of them. In the previous study- Farooque &Hussain found negative correlation between physical fitness parameters and BMI of young healthy sedentary adults

. So the present researcher agree with the previous study.
In this study the researcher observed relationship between VO2 max and body mass index for female students but in case of male and student as a whole found no relationship. In the previous study - Ghosh & Jahan, was found a negative relationship between BMI and VO2max

. In the present study is also agreed with previous study in case of male and female students.
Further, in this study showed that positive relationship between physical fitness index and VO2 max for male students and student as a whole but in case of female found no relationship. In the previous research –Dana at al, results showed that insignificant between physical fitness index and VO2 max of male and female students

. So the present study is no agree with previous study. Because previous study was so long sample size, but present study is small sample size.
5. Conclusion
In this study concluded that-
1) No significant relationship between physical fitness index and body mass index of male, female students and students as a whole.
2) Significantly relationship between VO2 max and body mass index for female students but in case of male and student as a whole found no relationship.
3) Positive relationship between physical fitness index and VO2 max for male students and student as a whole but in case of female found no relationship.

AB - Physical activity is human body movement of any type, while physical education programs use physical activity to teach children how to improve and sustain an active lifestyle. One of the most crucial factors to think about when evaluating a subject's cardiorespiratory efficiency is their Physical Fitness Index (PFI). The risks involved in implementing BMI for adults also affect kids and teenagers. The term "maximal oxygen consumption capacity" (VO2max) refers to the body's capacity to consume oxygen in the skeletal muscle mitochondria at a maximum rate during vigorous full-body exercise. To investigate correlation body mass index, physical fitness index and maximal oxygen capacity (VO2max) among physical education students. The investigator was selected 36 BPED students (Male: 20 & Female: 16) from University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia. The age range of subject from 19 to 25 years. To conduct this study measured body mass index though Quetelet index, physical fitness index through Harvard step test and maximal oxygen capacity (VO2max) through Queens College Step test were considered. Conclusion of this present study were no significant relationship between physical fitness index and body mass index of male, female students and students as a whole. Significantly relationship between VO2 max and body mass index for female students but in case of male and student as a whole found no relationship. Positive relationship between physical fitness index and VO2 max for male students and student as a whole but in case of female found no relationship.
