 INTRODUCTION
he Khelo India Program was launched by the Government of India
in 2018 with the vision of strengthening the country’s sports
ecosystem by identifying and nurturing young talent. The
initiative, led by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, focuses
on promoting sports from the grassroots level to the elite level, with
an emphasis on building a strong foundation for future athletes.

One of the key components of the program is the Khelo India

School Games (KISG), which aims to identify talented school-level
athletes and provide them with the necessary infrastructure and
training. The Khelo India Youth Games (KIYG) further allows
young athletes to showcase their skills, competing in a range of
disciplines.

The program offers a scholarship of Rs 5 lakh annually for eight

years to selected athletes, ensuring they have the financial support
needed for training and education. Additionally, the Khelo India
Program enhances sports infrastructure and promotes sports
science, aiming to create a comprehensive framework
for athletic development.
 WHAT ARE THE TEST IN SAI KHELO INDIA TESTS?

 FOR AGE GROUP 5-8 YEARS

At Primary class 1-3, children should acquire Fundamental
Movement Skills (FMS) leaving the learning of specific physical
activities to later stages. FMS provide the building blocks for many
physical activities, such as playing games, dance, and sport.
Locomotors , Manipulative & Body Management abilities are key to
success in most sports and physical activities. Abilities of children in
class 1-3 which need to be measured and tracked are
 BODY MASS COMPOSITION
What does it measure: Body Composition refers primarily to the
distribution of muscle and fat in the body. Body size such as height,
lengths and girths are also grouped under this component. The
test performed is Body Mass Index (BMI), which is calculated from
body Weight (W) and height (H).
𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
BMI =(
𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡∗𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡)

The higher the score usually indicating higher levels of body fat.
 PROCEDURE

Weight the person using a digital or manual scale. Record the weight in
kilograms (kg). If the weight is in grams, convert it to kilograms by
dividing by 1000. Measure the person’s height with a stadiometer or a
measuring tape. Ensure the person is standing straight, with heels
together and head facing forward. Record the height in meters (m). If
the height is measured in centimetres , convert it to meters by dividing
by 100.
Use the formula,
𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
BMI =(
𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡∗𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡)

Now from the above chart we can conclude if a child is obese or

underweight.

 PLATE TAPPING TEST

To evaluate the motor coordination, reaction time, and mental
alertness of an individual using the Plate Tapping Test, which is
commonly used in psychological and physical fitness assessments.

 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
Table (adjustable height), 2 yellow discs (20cm diameter), rectangle
(30 x 20 cm), stopwatch
 PROCEDURE
If possible, the table height should be adjusted so that the subject is
standing comfortably in front of the discs. The two yellow discs are
placed with their centers 60 cm apart on the table. The rectangle is
placed equidistant between both discs. The non-preferred hand is
placed on the rectangle. The subject moves the preferred hand back and
forth between the discs over the hand in the middle as quickly as
possible. This action is repeated for 25 full cycles (50 taps).
The time taken to complete 25 cycles is recorded
 FLAMINGO BALANCE TEST
Ability to balance successfully on a single leg. This single leg balance
test assesses the strength of the leg, pelvic, and trunk muscle as well as
Static balance.
Equipment Required: Non Slippery even surface, Stopwatch, can be
done on just standing on beam.
 PROCEDURE
To perform the test, the subject stands on a flat surface, lifting one leg
off the ground and balancing on the other. The time taken to maintain
balance is measured using a stopwatch, and the test is repeated 2–3
times for each leg.
If the subject touches the ground or loses balance, the time is stopped.
The results are recorded and analyzed by averaging the balance time
for each leg, with longer times indicating better stability.
This test helps evaluate coordination and is useful in physical fitness
and rehabilitation settings.
 SCORING
The total number of falls or loss of balance in 60 seconds of balancing
is recorded.
If there are more than 15 falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is
terminated.
 FOR THE AGE GROUP 9-18+ YEARS
For 9-18 YEARS , it is important for students to have an overall
physical fitness. The following Components are to be considered in
Physical Health and Fitness Profile:

 BODY MASS COMPOSITION

Similar to the above procedure of BMI. Chart for male and female are
different.

 Partial Curl Up (30 seconds)

The curl up test measures abdominal muscular strength and endurance
of the abdominals and hip Flexors, important in back support and core
stability.
 Equipment Required
Flat clean cushioned surface with two parallel strips (6 inches apart),
Stopwatch, Recording sheets, Pen.
 PROCEDURE
The subject lies on a cushioned, flat, clean surface with knees flexed,
usually at 90 degrees, with hands straight on the sides (palms facing
downwards) closer to the ground, parallel to the body.
The subject raises the trunk in a smooth motion, keeping the arms in
position, curling up the desired amount (at least 6 inches above/along
the ground towards the parallel strip).
The trunk is lowered back to the floor so that the shoulder blades or
upper back touch the floor.
Record the maximum number of Curl ups in a certain time period 30
seconds.
 Push Ups (Boys)/Modified Push Ups (Girls)
 Equipment Required
Flat clean cushioned surface/Gym mat.
 PROCEDURE
A standard push up begins with the hands and toes touching the floor,
the body and legs in a straight line, feet slightly apart, the arms at
shoulder width apart, extended and at a right angles to the body.
Keeping the back and knees straight, the subject lowers the body to a
predetermined point, to touch some other object, or until there is a 90-
degree angle at the elbows, then returns back to the starting position
with the arms extended.

This action is repeated, and test continues until

exhaustion, or until they can do no more in rhythm or have reached the
target number of push-ups.
For Girls: push-up technique is with the knees resting on the ground.
 SCORING
Record the number of correctly completed pushups.

 600 METERS RUN/WALK

Helps to measure Cardiovascular Fitness/Cardiovascular Endurance
 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Stopwatch, whistle, marker cone, lime powder, measuring tape, 200 or
400 meters with 1.22 meter (minimum 1 meter) width preferably on a
flat and even playground with a marking of starting and finish line.
 PROCEDURE
Participants are instructed to run 600 meters. in the fastest possible
pace. The participants begin on signal, “ready, start” as they cross the
finish line elapsed time should be announced to the participants.
Walking is permitted but the objective is to cover the distance in the
shortest possible time.
 SCORING
Time taken for completion (Run or Walk) in min, sec, mm.
 50 METER DASH (STANDING START)
Determines acceleration and speed
 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Measuring tape or marked track, stopwatch, cone markers, flat and
clear surface of at least 60 meters.
 PROCEDURE
A thorough warm up should be given, including some practice starts
and accelerations. Start from a stationary position, with one foot in
front of the other. The front foot must be on or behind the starting line.
This starting position should be static (dead start). The tester should
provide hints for maximizing speed (such as keeping low, driving hard
with the arms and legs) and encouraged to continue running hard
through the finish line.
 SCORING
Time taken for completion.
 SIT AND REACH
Common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the
flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles
 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Sit and Reach box with the following dimensions: 12" x 12" (sides)
12" x 10" (front and back) 12" x 21" (top) Inscribe the top panel with
centimetre /mm gradations. It is crucial that the vertical plane against
which the subject's feet will be placed is exactly at the 23 cm mark.
Flat clean cushioned surface/Gym Mats
 PROCEDURE
This test involves sitting on the floor with legs stretched out straight
ahead. Shoes should be removed. The soles of the feet are placed flat
against the Sit and Reach box. Both knees should be locked and
pressed flat to the floor - the tester may assist by holding them down.
With the palms facing downwards, and the hands on top of each other,
the subject reaches forward along the measuring line as far as possible.
Ensure that the hands remain at the same level, not one reaching further
forward than the other. After some practice reaches, the subject reaches
out and holds that position for at one-two seconds while the distance is
recorded. Make sure there are no jerky movements.
 SCORING
The score is recorded (difference between initial position and final
position), in cm and mm, as the distance reached by the hand.
 CONCLUSION

The Khelo India Youth Games, including the Sai Khelo India Test
events, play a crucial role in identifying and nurturing young
sporting talent across India. These initiatives provide athletes with a
platform to showcase their skills, receive professional training, and
pursue competitive opportunities. The test events emphasize the
importance of grassroots sports development, helping to build a
strong foundation for India's future in sports. Ultimately, they
contribute to promoting sports culture, fostering youth engagement,
and creating pathways for excellence in various athletic disciplines.
