This study analyzed and compared selected physical fitness and anthropometric variables among 50 male basketball and 50 male handball players from Karnatak University Dharwad. Anthropometric measurements included height, weight, arm span, and BMI. Physical fitness tests measured speed, agility, endurance, strength, and flexibility. Independent t-tests revealed significant differences between the groups: basketball players exhibited higher height, arm span, and endurance, while handball players showed superior agility and strength. These findings provide practical insights for sport-specific training programs and talent identification at the university level.
