This study is based on students receiving the service of Physical Education at Harmodio Arias M. Campus of the Universidad de Panama and it is aimed at determining their physical fitness. After administering various tests, the students who participated in the investigation evidenced a deficient physical fitness, particularly in the strength and muscular endurance in the abdominals and flexibility, both males and females. In the strength of biceps women were very weak. Regarding the one-mile run, which measures the aerobic endurance, the result was barely satisfactory in both males and females. Other aspects taken into account were the body mass index, the body fat percentage, the beats and breaths per minute. The low rating evidenced that students have serious difficulties due to the lack of exercise.
