Over the years the population has trindadense increasingly looking for an ideal environment where they can engage in physical activity in order to provide improved physical fitness and wellness. On the other hand the need for physical exercise are confronted with another reality, the growth of tobacco consumption, a fact that directly influences the fitness of the individual, because the smoker has greater difficulty in performing physical activities than non-smokers, and that interferes with the quality of life of any individual. Objective: To identify and analyze whether there are differences in fitness between smokers and nonsmokers. Methodology: This study was conducted from a quantitative descriptive and exploratory research developed through literature reviews and implementation of protocols for physical fitness tests between smokers and nonsmokers who do physical activity at Trindade-GO. Results and Discussion: We realize that in tests of strength, flexibility, and anaerobic endurance participants smokers had a more balanced middle between them, sometimes even excelling at some points. Since the tests of cardiorespiratory endurance and aerobic participants had difficulty. This may be related to the nicotine in tobacco affect the cardiorespiratory system may lead to a feeling early fatigue. Conclusion: We conclude that, in accordance with the proposed objectives, no difference in fitness between smokers and nonsmokers in relation to aerobic tests that depend on the cardiorespiratory system is characterized as a test of long distance and low intensity. However, new studies are needed to observe other variables that may interfere with this process.
