All the subjects of different experimental and control groups were exposed to motor performance components (Speed) to record the pretest data. After the pretest was over, all the subjects of a group A were exposed to movement education training program with their regular school schedule daily in the morning for one hour except on Sundays and holidays for a total period of 12 weeks. The subjects of a control group did not receive the movement education training.
