The 50- yard dash test (AAPHER 1976) was used to measure, “ speed”, shuttle run test (AAPHER 1976) was used to measure, “ agility”, standing broad jump test (AAPHER 1976) was used to measure, “muscular power”, and softball throw for distance test (Disch et al. 1977) was used to measure, “muscular strength”.. In order to analyze the data t-test was used..The level of p≤0.01 and 0.05 was considered significant. It revealed that baseball & softball boys had significantly higher muscular strength, agility, power, speed (p<0.01 & 0.05) than baseball & softball girls.
