Positive significant relationship is also present in the number of days students exercise to the physical and social attributes. However, there is no significant relationship present at student’s gender and BMI to any of their holistic development. Furthermore, there is a positive significant relationship between the health-related physical fitness in terms of cardio-vascular endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination and student’s holistic development in terms of physical, social, mental and emotional attributes.
