Physical activity habits developed in childhood and adolescence help form healthier individuals both physically and mentally, supporting higher sports performance and broader health outcomes. This study compares physical fitness parameters of male students taking physical education with an average age of 7.15 ± 36 years who train in different sports branches. Physical fitness tests were administered to 65 male students from Private Yükselen College, Ankara, and results indicate better speed, agility, and muscular force with significant differences between groups.

(􀀣 Corresponding Author) Abstract The fact that children have acquired the habit of physical activity therefore becoming physically and mentally healthy individuals has an important role in the formation of a healthy society. Physical activities during childhood and adolescence ensure that sports performance is at the highest level and also contributes to overall health values (Saygın, Karacabey, & Saygın, 2011) . The aim of this study is to compare the physical fitness parameters of the male students who take the physical education course with an average age of 7,15 ± 36 years and who are trained indifferent sports branches. The first-grade students of the Private Yükselen College, who were in Pursaklar District of Ankara Province, participated in the study. For this purpose, physical fitness tests of 65 male students who took courses of physical education and received training in different sports branches were conducted. Significance values were taken as p <0.01 and p <0.05 . As the results of the study showed that the speed, agility and muscular force parameters of the males showed faster development, it was observed that the values of the students who took education in different branches were better and a significant difference was observed between them.
