The main purpose of the study was to compare the muscular strength between the residential and non-residential school girls of Manipur. To achieve the objective of the study, one thousand two hundred (n=1200) i.e. six hundred (n=600) residential school girls and six hundred (n=600) non-residential school girls were taken randomly as a subject for the study. The age of the subjects ranged between 13-15 years. Muscular strength was measured by hand grip strength test by using Handgrip dynamometer for both hands (left hand and right hand). To determine the significance difference on muscular strength, independent ‘t’ test was applied with the help of SPSS software. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Statistical calculation on gathered data showed that there was significant difference on muscular strength (left hand grip) and muscular strength (right hand grip) between residential and non-residential school girls of Manipur.
