The fact that an adequate assessment based on norms and standards of the health and physical fitness (PF) development with the body composition (BC) for the students of the colleges of police, military and security sciences (MSS) in Palestine is critical to be a guide and a reference for those in charge of the PF of annual physical entry exams This study sought to identify the: PF and BC levels, the relationship between level of academic standards fitness, and constructing norms of PF and BC, finally, to identify the best PF elements in predicting BC among MSS in Palestine according to (age, height, weight and academic level) variables. The descriptive approach was used on sample that represented (92.5%) of the study population and consisted of (735) male students spread over (4) years of study and (7) academic disciplines in Police MSS. The study applied the tests of: (1600/2400m) walking and running, vertical jump (VJ), handgrip (Hg), push-up (Pu), 50m dash sprint (DS), Illinois agility test (IA), and sit-up (Su). Also, the study included the measures of body fat percentage, (BFP) fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM) for measuring BC. SPSS software was used to analyze data. The result indicated that there is a disparity between the students of the school years in a number of elements measured as the third-year students have achieved the best results in (6) out of (7) physical test. Third-year students also achieved the lowest BFP, the second-year students achieved lowest FM, and fourth-year students achieved greatest LBM. The strongest statistically significant correlation among students of FM relationship was with walking test of (2400 m), and a stronger statistically significant correlation with the students LBM were tested with Hg. Based on these findings, it was recommended to apply the standard levels of tests and PF components of the body that have been built. As it recommended to prepare a special guide fitness standards, and the allocation of a special field of fitness exercises at the university.
