AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the cardiac and pulmonary fitness among obese subjects and healthy subjects. METHODS: A total of 170 participants were included with age groups between 18-35 yrs . Physical Fitness Index was assessed by using Harvard Step Test. RESULTS: Heart rate, systolic Blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure had a significantly association in obese subjects. Biochemical markers such as uric acid ,Tg and cholesterol had significantly higher in obese adult compare to non-obese adult. HST had a positive correlation with the obese subject compare to non obese young adult. CONCLUSION: Poor health outcomes are linked to both physiological and biochemical changes in the obese subject. Increased obesity in young adult showing negatively affects vascular adaptability.
