Abstract :This study was conducted to examine the effects of jump rope exercises on physical fitness levels in children. A total of (n=120), aged 10-12 participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups as training and control groups. A jump rope program was applied to the training group three days per week. The control group participated only in physical education classes. At the beginning and end of the 12-week study, measurements from the fitnessgram test battery were applied to all students and the data obtained were evaluated in SPSS 21.0 statistical package program. In the dependent and independent groups t-test was used, statistical significance level was taken as p<0.05. When the pre-test and post-test results of the control group were compared, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in curl-up and flexed arm measurement averages (p>0.05), while there were significant differences in push-up, flexibility right and flexibility left, and trunk lift tests (p<0.05). In the training group, there was a statistically significant difference in push-ups, curl-ups, trunk lifts, flexibility right and flexibility, flexed arm tests (p<0.05). When the post-test control and training group measurement averages were compared, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference in push-up, curl-up and flexibility right measurements (p<0.05). As a result, it was determined that jump rope exercises have a positive effect on push-ups, curl-ups and flexibility right mean values and it may be recommended to include in physical education lessons.
