The purpose of this study to comparison of hill running and backward running on Athletes and to develop profile of Athletes on the basis of physical variables. To quantify contributions of individual muscles during hill running and backward running 38 male healthy subjects under 19 years of Lucknow region is participated in the study. For development of physical components eight weeks training in spring session are delivered related to backward running and hill running. Pre-test and post-test data is collected for comparison. Nonsignificant result occurred during standing broad jump. Significant result occurred during 600meter run which resembles explosive strength. Improve flexibility because of occurring significant result during analysis of bent knee sit-up
