Abstract:
Regular physical exercises enhance overall health and wellbeing. Children who are physically educated are more likely to become and remain active specifically having basic information regarding exercise and benefits of exercise as well as mastering sets of basic environment skills that are essential to a child’s initiating and continuing a regular exercise program. Individuals will not participate in activities they do not know how to do reasonably well. Researchers have identified a child’s movement’s competence and enjoyment of physical activity as primary factors in how physically active an individual is during childhood and adolescence. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship of body mass index to AAHPER fitness test scores in school children aged 10 -14 years. The participants of the study were randomly selected 200 children from Trivandrum district, age ranging between 10 to 14 years.
