Abstract	3 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between Self-perceived and measured physical fitness of male college students. The target population consisted entirely of male students of University of Guilan, Iran. Among them non- athlete male with mean age of 21.83±1.17 years, height 173.6±6.4 cm, weight 70.66±11.8 kg and body mass index 22.38±3. kg/m , volunteered to participate in this study, 2 respectively. The participants (n = 150) completed a five item self-reported questionnaire to estimate their physical fitness levels. Self-perceived fitness (SPF) was assessed using a five-component questionnaire in which subjects indicated on a 13-point rating scale their perceived endurance, flexibility, strength, body composition and overall fitness. Results show that there were significant correlations between self-perceived of endurance and 1500-m running time (r = -.17); but, the correlation between self-perceived of strength and composite strength scores (handgrip dynamometry, hand-grip tests) (r =.09); self-perceived of flexibility and sit and reach scores (r =-.033) and self-perceived of body composition (r =.042) was not significant. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and deductive statistical used to relations between variables were described by using Pearson correlation coefficient. In all subject, self- perceived scores higher than actual fitness scores. The results clearly indicated that non-athlete male student's did not sufficient skills to competently undertake self-perceived of their fitness.
