One of the goals of physical education is to improve physical fitness. This study aims to find out why the low level of physical fitness of students, whether there is an influence with the geographical location of an area, so the purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the level of physical fitness possessed by highland, lowland and island students with diverse geographical conditions in Indonesia. The highlands were in Kerinci district, Jambi, the lowlands were in Padang, West Sumatra, while the islands were in Meranti Islands district, Riau.
