Background: It has been observed that Blood Pressure and Heart Rate of an individual changes with posture. This study is performed to study the change in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate while standing on dominant and on non-dominant single -leg stance in males and females.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the significant changes in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in young college going males and females while standing on there dominant and non-dominant lower limb (single-leg stance).

Subjects: 200 subjects (100-males, 100-females) of the age group of 18 to 25yrs

Study Design: Co-relational

Data Analysis: P-Value was calculated for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure separately and as well as of Heart Rate in resting, single-leg stance on dominant leg and single-leg stance on nondominant leg in both Males and Females.

Conclusion: From The study it can be concluded that while training any individual on single -leg stance on dominant and non-dominant a therapist should take care of the blood pressure and Heart Rate specially while working on hypertensive's, amputees, individuals with cardio-vascular, neurological, psychological and neuro muscular disorders.
