Every individual should understand the importance of condition. In alternative words, one should have elementary information of anatomy and physiology. This elementary information permits person to grasp condition. Condition is that the capability of someone to operate steady and swimmingly once a scenario arises. Physical fitness is the ability to carry out daily tasks vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to engage in a leisure time pursuits and to meet the above average physical stresses encountered in emergency situations. Physical fitness is the basic foundation of most of the activities by an individual in his daily life. Adjustment means, the process of adapting or becoming used to a new situation. Maladjustment means Inability to react successfully and satisfactorily to the demands of one's environment. It implies that an individual's failure to meet social or cultural expectations. According to Shaffer, ―Adjustment is the process by which living organism maintains a balance between its need and the circumstances that influence the satisfaction of these needs‖. Adjustment implies a satisfactory adaptation to the demands of day to day life and keeping a balance between need and capacity to realize needs. For teachers in their profession adjustment in one of the important elements/factor in achieving their goal. This adjustment comes in their profession in various levels, like Time table ,school are colleges rules and regulations are in matter of adjustment with other teachers, are adjustment with schools administration management ext, in aspect of all these matters adjustment is very important factor in teachers profession. Therefore, it's worrying to seek out that several of today‘s academics area unit discontented with their jobs. A teacher, who is proud of his job, plays a polar role within the upliftment of society. Well-adjusted and satisfied teacher can contribute a lot to the well being of his/her pupils. A displeased teacher can become irritable and may create tensions which can have negative influence on the

affects their academic growth. Hence the researcher planned to study the physical fitness of the physical education and general education teachers working with different levels of adjustment.

The objective of the present study is to study the physical fitness of teachers working with different levels of adjustment.

Ho1 There is no significant difference in the selected physical fitness of teachers working with different levels of teacher‘s adjustment.

4.1 Research Design: The present study was chosen as descriptive survey method.

Population: The inhabitants of the study comprised of physical education and general education teachers working in secondary schools of Bangalore division, Karnataka state. Sample of the Study: The test comprised 300 (150 physical education and 150 general education teachers teaching core subjects) secondary school teachers selected by stratified random sampling technique. 4.3 Selection of Variables: The following variables were considered for the study:

1. Mangal‘s Teacher Adjustment Inventory having 253 questions with five factors of broad areas of teacher adjustment that is adjustment with academic and general environment of the institution; socio-psycho-physical adjustment; Professional relationship adjustment; Personal life adjustment; and financial adjustment and job satisfaction. In the scoring scheme it has been planned to assign score 2 for the response indicating adjustment, score 1 for the undecided (?) response and zero for the response indicating lack of adjustment or maladjustment. The reliability of the Inventory was estimated through test and re-test method the reliability of the test was 0.99 and it is reliable for the study. In the present study three different categories of adjustment taken were as adjustment; average adjustment and maladjustment 4.5 Statistical Techniques Used: F test (One-way ANOVA) was used to examine the significant differences between among groups. In all the cases 0.05 and 0.01 levels was fixed to test the stated hypothesis.

The ‗F‘ value of in Physical Fitness scores among different adjustment levels of physical education and general education teachers in general are given in Table-1. Table-1: Table shows One-Way ANOVA Analysis on selected Physical Fitness of teachers among different levels of adjustment.

6.131 and 7.021 for muscular strength & endurance of trunks, speed and cardiovascular endurance are greater than the table value of 4.68 for df ‗2 and 297‘ required for significance at 0.01 level of confidence. The results of the study indicated that ―there is significant difference in the muscular strength & endurance of trunks, speed and cardiovascular endurance among teachers working with different levels of adjustment. To determine the significant difference in the said criterion variables among these paired means, the ‗Scheffe‘s test was applied as Post hoc analysis and the results are presented in Table-2. Table-2: LSD Post Hoc Analysis on Physical Fitness among teachers with different levels of Adjustment. Table-2 shows significant paired mean differences on muscular strength & endurance trunk between average adjustment & maladjustment; and adjustment & maladjustment teachers and the values is 1.150 and 5.087 which are greater than the critical difference value at 0.05 level of confidence. It concludes that ―there is significant difference in muscular strength & endurance of trunk between average adjustment & maladjustment; and adjustment & maladjustment teachers. The better adjusted teachers had better muscular strength when compared with average adjusted and maladjusted teachers. Table-2 shows significant paired mean differences on speed between average adjustment & maladjustment teachers and the value is 0.352 which is greater than the critical difference at 0.05 level of confidence. It concludes that ―there is significant difference in speed between average adjustment & maladjustment teachers. Table-2 also shows significant paired mean differences on endurance between average adjustment & maladjustment teachers and the value is 0.361 which is greater than the critical difference value at 0.05 level of confidence. It concludes that ―there is significant difference in endurance between average adjustment & maladjustment teachers. The better adjusted teachers had better speed and endurance when compared with average adjusted and maladjusted teachers. Fig.1 : Comparison of mean scores of Physical Fitness variables of general and physical education teachers with different levels of adjustment.

The following are the most important findings of the study: 1. There is no significant difference in the Muscular Strength & Endurance of Arms and Shoulder, Agility, Explosive power of legs Physical Education and General Education teachers working different levels of teacher‘s adjustment. 2. There is a significant difference in the Speed of Arms and Shoulder, Agility, Explosive Power of Physical Education and General Education teachers working different levels of adjustment. The well-adjusted teachers have better speed when compared with average adjusted and maladjusted teachers. 3. There is a significant difference in the cardiovascular Endurance of Physical Education and General Education teachers working different levels of adjustment. The well-adjusted teachers had more endurance when compared with average adjusted and maladjusted teachers.

Physical activates not only improve physical strength, but also improve adjustment levels and well-being, Exercise not only makes you physically fitter but it also improves mental wellbeing. The result shows that there was significant difference in the muscular strength & endurance of trunk, speed and cardiovascular endurance among different levels of adjustment except muscular strength and endurance of shoulder, agility y and explosive power. The study reveals that participation of physical activities and sports not only for physical education teachers but also for general education teachers effects on physical fitness and also improve their adjustment levels due to continues
