Background and Objective: Physical fitness implies performing an inactive task efficiently besides sense of physical, mental and social well-being and the ability to deal with crisis demanding unusual physical endeavor. In this study, the physiotherapy students of age group 17 to 22 years of Visakha Academy of Paramedical Sciences College of Physiotherapy were taken to assess their physical fitness. Methods: An observational study was done in 50 young male and female physiotherapy students by using Modified Harvard Step test to measure Physical Fitness Index. Data Analysis: Statistical analysis was done using Chi Square test. Results: Statistical analysis shows that physical fitness in physiotherapy students is not satisfactory. The Chi Square values show association between body mass index and physical fitness levels in physiotherapy students. Conclusion: Physical fitness of physiotherapy students in Visakha Academy of Paramedical Sciences College of Physiotherapy, is not satisfactory. Subjects with higher BMI had lower physical fitness.

Background A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for the quantitative measurement of dolutegravir in pure form and pharmaceutical formulation. The present method was based on redox reaction between dolutegravir and ferric chloride, which upon complexation with 1,10-phenanthroline formed an orange-colored complex that showed absorption maximum at 520.0 nm. Results The developed method obeyed linearity in the concentration range of 40.00–140.00 μg/mL. The method was also validated as per International Council for Harmonization guidelines and the results were within acceptance values. The validated method was employed for the determination of dolutegravir in pharmaceutical dosage form and the percentage assay value was found to be 102.5, which is in agreement with its label claimed. Conclusion The developed redox-based colorimetric method could be used in the routine quality control analysis of dolutegravir present in various pharmaceutical dosage forms.
