Group- I (n=20) underwent basketball players and Group – II (n=20) cricket players. The following tests were performed to measure the physical fitness parameters: sit and reach test was used to measure the flexibility, stroke balance test was used to measure the balance. The data collected from the subjects were statistically analyzed using ‘t’ test to find out whether significant mean difference existed at 0.05level of confidence. The result of the study was significant difference in the balance and flexibility between the basketball and cricket players. The flexibility level is better to the basketball players compare with the cricketers. The balance level is better to the cricket players compare with the basketball players.
