Effects of Traditional Game in School Going Children

This randomized controlled trial examines whether regular participation in the traditional game \*\*Kho-Kho\*\* improves agility and reaction time in school-aged children. Due to limited physical education in schools, many children fail to achieve recommended daily physical activity, leading to physical and mental health issues. The study will involve \*\*48 children (8-12 years)\*\* from selected schools in Sialkot, divided into an experimental group (Kho-Kho) and a control group (free play). The intervention will be conducted \*\*3 times per week for 6 weeks\*\*, and outcomes will be measured using the \*\*T-Test, Ruler Drop Test, and TOES\*\*. Data will be analyzed using \*\*SPSS v21\*\*, with ethical approval from \*\*Riphah International University, Lahore\*\*.
