The purpose of the study is to know the physiological variables of the school boys and to compare the selected physiological variables of the adolescent school boys under plain, coastal and hills areas of Karnataka region. To achieve the purpose of the study, three hundred adolescent school boys studying in secondary schools of plain, coastal and hills of different regions of Karnataka with the age ranging from 13 to 15 years were randomly selected. The physiological variables such as Breath Holding Time measured manually in secs, pulse rate by using digital heart rate monitor in beats/minutes and VO2 Max by administering Queen College Step Test in ml/kg/min. The One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to find out the significant difference among adolescent school boys of different regions of Karnataka (plain, coastal and hills region areas of Karnataka). The Scheffe’s Post Hoc test was used to find out the significant difference in the paired means. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. The result shows that there was significant difference in the breath holding time and pulse rate among the adolescent school boys with different geographical regions of Karnataka and no difference exists in the Vo2 max. The adolescent boys of hills area have better breathing holding time and pulse rate when comparing with coastal and plain areas. The adolescents from hills area had more breathing capacity and better hear rate when compared with coastal and plain area it may be due to their physical activities, nature of life styles and geographical climate. The students from plain area need to participate in more physical activities and active in more endurance training for increase their breathing capacity as well as heart rate which is helpful to better health and wellbeing.
