Abstract


This study aimed to examine the differences in physical fitness among younger school-age children according to sport participation. The sample consisted of 252 children, categorized into three groups based on their engagement in sports and folklore activities. The variables analyzed include body weight, body height, the toe touch, push-ups, the standing long jump, shuttle run, obstacle course backwards, bent-arm hang, and sit ups. The results indicated significant differences in the standing long jump, push-ups, obstacle course backwards, the 20m run, and bent-arm hang among the groups (p<0.05). This study highlighted significant differences in physical fitness among younger school-age children based on their engagement in sports, folklore activities, or inactivity. The findings have implications for educators and coaches in designing appropriate physical education programs for younger school-age children.
