Results: The results showed that passive smokers were mostly women. Most of sample had good VO2max, which were 37.5% in medium exposure level and 23.6% in high exposure level. The sample with average VO2max were 8.3% in medium exposure level and 15.3% in high exposure level. The sample with low VO2max were 11.1% in medium exposure level and 4.2 % in high exposure level. Chi Square test result showed p = 0.095.
