Since cost factor for estimation of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Risk components are very high, this may not be under reach of the normal population. This is what the researcher looking forward to find out some field measurements by which we can predict the Cardiovascular Disease Risk. Therefore, this study was undertaken to find out whether Health Related Physical Fitness variables are indicator of CVD risk factors, in healthy army soldiers. A total of 120 healthy army male soldiers with mean age 34.6 years were selected as a subject for the study from 90 Armored Regiment, Gwalior, (M.P.). All subjects were examined for Cardio-respiratory Endurance (CE), Muscular Strength i.e., Leg and Back Strength, Muscular Endurance (ME), Flexibility, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Triglycerides (TG), Total Cholesterol, High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C). All these measurements were taken from each subject using standard procedure. The correlation between fitness variables and CVD risk factors were examined with the help of Pearson product moment correlation and Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to examine the independent and combined associations of selected fitness variables with CVD risk factors, using SPSS 19 version. CE showed a statistically negative significant correlation with SBP (p <.05) and TG (p <.05). Likewise, ME also showed a statistically negative significant correlation with SBP (p <.05) and DBP (p<.05). Further results of the present study indicated that fitness variables namely CE and ME would be the good predictors for the CVD risk factors specially SBP, DBP and TRIG. Therefore, we can say that fitness variables alone have no meaning to point out the risk factors in healthy adults but have some association with CVD’s.
