The main objective of this study was to determine association between BMI and fitness of firefighters in Kuantan. BMI can be categorized as underweight, healthy range, overweight and obese. The component of fitness such as flexibility, muscular power and muscular endurance. Male firefighters (n=60) were selected randomly from three fire station in Kuantan.
