Abstract
Background: The study was to examine the effect of intervention physical activity programmeon fundamental motorskills in early childhood.In this experimental study thirty children (3- 5 years old) from Trivandrum district of Kerala were selected randomly and assigned to two groups, an experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The tool used for the purpose was “Gross Motor Development -2 Ulrich, 2000”(locomotors skills).
