The study examined selected cardiorespiratory fitness indexes of undergraduate students of Adekunle Ajasin University,
Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State. Two (2) research questions were raised and four (4) hypotheses were formulated and
tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test statistical analysis to guide the study. An expo-facto research design was
used for data collecting. Purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 60 student comprised 25
males and 35 females. The findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between heart rate and established
norms of AAUA student, there is no significant relationship between systolic blood pressure and established norms of
AAUA student, there is no significant relationship between diastolic blood pressure and established norms of AAUA
student and there is no significant relationship between Vo2max and norms of AAUA student; it was recommended
university management should make physical activities compulsory for students regardless of their level, the State
Government should organize seminars/workshop to sensitize the general public on the need to engage in physical
fitness exercise and Adekunle Ajasin University students should make physical fitness exercise a priority.
