Abstract :

 

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of IAAF KIDS’ ATHLETICS training programme on selected bio motor variables of school children. The experimental design of this study was random group design. For this purpose (N= 60) sixty school children (both boys and girls), of age group 9 to 12 years from St. Mary’s English medium school Kuzhichal, Kannur, Kerala, were selected. The subjects were divided into two groups of thirty (n=30) each namely experimental group and control group. The experimental group underwent twelve weeks of IAAF KIDS’ ATHLETICS training programme on alternate days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday).

The dependent variables selected for the study were selected bio motor abilities namely speed, speed endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, explosive power, agility and flexibility. The independent variable selected for the study was IAAF KIDS’ ATHLETICS training programme. The data was statistically examined by applying descriptive statistics, paired‘t’ test and analysis of covariance. All the data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 levels.

Results:  The result of the study indicated that there were significant differences in all bio motor variables selected for this study.
