The objective of this study was to compare selected physical fitness and physiological variables between Hockey and Basketball players. A total of thirty players, representing their university in the Inter University tournament during the 2014-2015 session from the Delhi, were chosen as subjects, with ages ranging from 17 to 25. This research was experimental in nature, focusing on various physical fitness and physiological variables, including flexibility, endurance, agility, explosive strength, heart rate, vital capacity, and cardiovascular endurance. The data analysis employed the 't' test to determine significant differences between the two groups. The findings revealed significant differences in certain physical variables, specifically flexibility and explosive strength, while no significant differences were observed in endurance and agility. In conclusion, the study indicated notable differences in selected physical and physiological variables, such as flexibility, explosive strength, endurance, and agility. It is recommended that similar studies be conducted with a diverse range of players, encompassing both genders and various age groups, as well as at higher competitive levels, utilizing a larger sample size.
