Background:- The present study cross sectional in design was conducted on 60 swimmers and 60 non swimmers and analysis of the cardio-respiratory endurance in swimmers and non swimmers in age group of 18-25 years was done by using 6 minute walk test. Results:-The mean age of case group was 21.68 years and of control group was 21.63 years which means that mean age of case group and control group subjects was comparable. The mean heart rate taken immediately after six minute walk test in swimmers was 75.86 BPM and in non swimmers was 83.16 BPM, which was statistically significant. In our study we also found that, systolic and diastolic blood pressure taken immediately after six minute walk test in swimmers was lesser (129 mmHg) than in non swimmers was (138.76 mmHg). In our study, we found that respiratory rate taken immediately after six minute walk test in swimmers was 22.4per minute and in non swimmers was 25.75per minute. In our study, we also found that rate of perceived exertion taken immediately after six minute walk test in swimmers as 2.93 and in non swimmers was 3.11. The present study showed that mean walked distance taken immediately after six minute walk test in swimmers was 529.75meters and in non swimmers was 496.17meters. Conclusion:- We conclude that, regular swimming produces a positive effect on cardio vascular and respiratory endurance of individuals.
