Brief Summary

The term "physical fitness" in youngsters describes their general health and capacity for movement. It consists of elements including flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and body composition. Children that are physically fit can run, jump, climb, and play without becoming fatigued easily. The body mass index is a metric used to determine how much a person weighs in connection to their height. Motor competence assesses an individual's ability to accomplish various motor skills and movements. The project aims to study the development and competency of motor skills, as well as factors influencing them, such as physical fitness and training. A cross sectional study will be conducted in different schools of Lahore through convenient sampling. Data will be gathered from a healthy population of age 5 to 8 years.

Various types of physical activities including walking, moderate intensity and vigorous intensity exercises are used. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 26 version.
