In order to improve the status of sports in Indian universities, it is necessary to raise awareness among policymakers, academicians, and educational institution managers about the poor state of sports in colleges and universities, and to encourage them to treat sports seriously and as a top priority. Physical education and sports, according to officials, are becoming increasingly vital in our lives. Policymakers and respondents, on the other hand, are not following through on their commitments. There has been a lot of talk about this, but the implementation is lacking, and a realistic and solid foundation for sports in educational institutions is required. As a result, the goal of this study is to discover and convey the truth about athletes' physical fitness and socioeconomic position at Solapur University in Solapur. In the Solapur district, the current study will aid in improving athletic performance. The current study is crucial in determining the role and impact of socioeconomic status on athletes' sporting achievement and fitness levels. Future athletes who have a high level of physical fitness but need to better their socioeconomic status would benefit from this research. Assessing an athlete's physical fitness level and recommending a physical fitness training program that is appropriate for them is beneficial. The findings will also help university/college sports policymakers, directors of physical education and sports, physical education instructors, coaches, and other sport science specialists design and implement programs to improve athletes' physical fitness and socioeconomic status.
