In this study, the aim was to investigate the relationship between the 30-second Burpee test administered to female university students and body composition, as well as certain physical parameters. A total of 50 students voluntarily participated in the study from the Private Security and Protection program at Çankırı Karatekin University, with an average age of 19.24±0.89 years, average height of 164.66±5.94 cm, average body weight of 60.94±4.44 kg, average body fat percentage of 22.93±1.82%, and average BMI of 25.92±2.68 kg/m2. Variance homogeneity of the data was assessed using Levene's Test, and normal distribution analyses were conducted using the Shapiro-Wilk Test. Pearson Correlation Analysis was performed for the correlational analysis of all parameters. According to the findings of this study, which examined the relationship between the 30-second Burpee test and certain physiological parameters, positive statistically significant relationships were observed between body mass and Burpee, standing long jump and height (cm), and sit-up test and body fat percentage (%) (p<0.05). However, no statistically significant relationship was found between body composition and Flamingo balance, Assisted pull-up, and the 10x5m tests (p>0.05). In conclusion, the 30-second Burpee test may provide benefits in assessing strength endurance among physiological parameters, particularly body mass. In terms of body composition, the statistically significant negative relationship between body weight and the 30- second Burpee (reps) suggests that body weight should be considered as a determining factor during test trials.
