Abstract
Positive association between physical fitness and academic achievement in youth students has been suggested yet the causal effect of physical fitness on academic achievement remains unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the physical fitness and academic achievement of handball project trainees and non-trainees students of Bench Maji zone, SNNPRS, Ethiopia. To achieve the innate objective of the study cross sectional research design with quantitative approach is employed. In so doing purposefully twenty five Mizan primary and secondary school students whose member of handball project with the age of 15.9+0.7 and twenty five students from grade 9, 15.7+.6 years old were selected randomly. Physical fitness is measured by 60 meter shuttle; 12 meter cooper test and Illinois agility test whereas the academic achievement is measured by 2017/18 transcript. The data is analyzed through descriptive statistics, independent T-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The statistical analysis revel that, academic achievement of handball train students is 53.6 +5.8 and 52.4+5.8, whereas non-train students are 61.32+1 and 60.6+ 11.9 respectively. The above mean value shows that as handball train students are significantly less than non-train students (P= 0.03, 0.04) in both semester. However in 60m shuttle (speed) the handball trainees are significantly greater than non-trainees (P=0.00) with the mean value of 7+ 0.96 and 6.09+0.53 respectively. In the 12’ copper test handball trainees score mean value is 2009.7+339.5 whereas non trainees 2436.9 + 372, this statistical value shows as handball trainees’ students are significantly greater than non-trainees in endurance performance. However result of Illinois agility test indicates as there is no significant difference among the group (P=0.3). The person correlation shows as there is no any strong relation between Physical fitness variables and academic achievement of 1 st semester (r=0.06 P=.75, r= .04 P=.81, r=.17 P=.405) and 2 nd semester (r =.2 P =.32, r =.15 P =.46 and r=.08 P=.65). Overall in the physical fitness the handball trainee students are greater, inversely in the academic achievement the non-hand ball trainees are greater, however the correlation value indicates as there is no any strong relation between academic achievement and physical fitness.
