However, for female adolescent 90 88% of them were normal weights. Hence 4.86% were at the risk weight and 5.25% were overweight. Descriptive and inferential statistically showed that an overall result male adolescents mostly fell into very high level of fitness in body composition, flexibility, upper body muscular strength and endurance and aerobic fitness but female adolescents perform better compared to male adolescents in abdominal muscular strength and endurance. There was a significant difference in body compositions, flexibility, abdominal muscular strength and endurance, upper body muscular strength and endurance and aerobic fitness and also level of fitness between genders. There was a strong relationship between body composition and flexibility among male adolescents but not among female adolescents.
