Abstract

Motor fitness is a part of physical fitness which indicates the ability of an individual to do some motor task or movement activity. The purpose of the present study is to identify the physical and motor fitness level of secondary school-going boys concerning some standard norms. A total number of 200 school-going boys equally distributed from classes six, seven, eight, nine, and ten were selected as subjects for the study. The components- for determining acceleration and speed 50m dash, 4×10m shuttle run for speed and agility, standing broad jump for the explosive power of the legs, 1 minute sit up for endurance of the abdominal and hip-flexor muscles, and finally, 800m run for basic endurance. All of the tests flowed as standard procedure. The collected data were analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques. The results and within the limitation of the study, the acceleration, speed, agility, explosive power, the endurance of abdominal and hip-flexor muscles and finally basic endurance of the school-going boys increases with the increase of class six to class ten.
