Abstract

This study examines the relationship between muscular strength of upper body and muscular endurance of the abdominal area in 9-year-old school-going girls. A sample of 500 female students from various DAV schools in Delhi NCR. Upper body strength was measured using the Modified Pull-Up Test, while abdominal endurance was assessed with the Sit-Up Test. The results indicated significant variation in upper body strength, with an average of 4.38 pull-ups (SD = 2.64), ranging from 0 to 11. Abdominal endurance was more consistent, with an average of 9.41 sit-ups (SD = 1.22), ranging from 7 to 12. There were no significant relationship obtained between upper body strength and abdominal endurance (r = -0.024, p = 0.599). The study concludes that these fitness components develop independently, suggesting the need for balanced fitness programs in schools.
