The aim of the study is to investigate the differences between male & female students of same age regarding cardiovascular fitness parameters. One hundred healthy student subjects belonging to age group of 19-23 years, of medical students. The study conducted at 2008-2009 at department of physiology. The pulse rate and blood pressure before and after exercise were measured. The subjects were asked to come in the morning hours in the laboratory with a light breakfast. A total 5 minutes warm up was given for each subject, then 9 minutes of exercise was applied to the students with a gradually increasing intensity every 3 minutes ( starting from 50, 100 & 150 watts) up to 75% of their maximal heart rate. The recovery heart arte of male students return to expected normal value at the 3rd minute post exercise (119.5 ± 3.5 b/min), as compare with female students (129 ± 5.6). While heart rate after 5 minutes post exercise there is no significant difference between male & female student
