This paper is highlighted To Comparative Study Of Obese And Non-Obese College Men In The Functional Capacity of Their Cardio-Pulmonary System. The cardio-pulmonary (C.P) index, which employs seven parameters, namely:- pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, vital capacity, maximum expiratory pressure, maximum breath holding time and the age, provides invaluable information concurring endurance of heart and lungs, by estimating the functional capacity of cardio-vascular and pulmonary system with the availability of above C.P. index, an attempt has been made to find the functional capacity of cardio-pulmonary system in obese and non-obese (Lean and Average) college men to enable the physical education teachers to prepare appropriate programme for obese and non-obese students according to their need. The cardio-pulmonary index (adynamic) indicates the cardio-pulmonary efficiency of an individual in pre-exercise condition. It could be observed from the result that the lean and average groups did not differ significantly, where as lean and average groups were found significantly better than obese groups in their cardio-pulmonary efficiency.
