Abstract

With the growth in civilization, the aspects of health, education and recreation were emphasized apart from food shelter and clothing, that were the basic necessities of life in the past. The results of various studies are inconsistent and not convincing. Most of the studies suffer from poor research designs, and studies on adolescent subjects are very limited. Studies on Health Related Physical Fitness, Skill Related Physical Fitness and Cognitive Variables in relation to adolescent Academic Achievement are not many. Most of the studies reviewed have limited samples and sample size. Different methods and procedures are adopted. Definite conclusions are not drawn from studies particularly on adolescent subjects.
