 Introduction: The purpose of the present study is to find out the relationship between motor fitness components and body mass index of uttarakhand boys.

Methods: The total 200 subjects (100 rural and 100 urban) belonging to high altitude area in Uttarakhand state were selected by using systematic random sampling. The age of the boys ranged between 14-15yrs. The data was collected by administering the test in their schools in free time. Keeping the feasibility in mind, Explosive Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardio Vascular Endurance, Muscular Power, Speed, Agility, Reaction time and Flexibility were selected as motor fitness components and B.M.I. was calculated by using their body weight and standing height. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment Correlation were used for statistical treatment. The level of significance was set at 0.05 levels.

Conclusions: - The results of the study showed that there is no significant relationship between selected motor fitness variables and the Body Mass Index of boys of urban and rural society in high altitude area of Uttarakhand state.
