ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to correlate muscular fitness (as measured by Kraus-Weber Tests) in Indian school children with their intelligence quotient (as measured by Porteus Maze Test). These tools have been tried and tested successfully in previous studies, don't require sophisticated equipment and are easier to administer than traditional tests like EMG (for muscular fitness) and Wechsler Tests (for intelligence quotient). The present study found a significant positive correlation between intelligence quotient and muscular fitness. Failures in Kraus-Weber Tests tend to have a lower Intelligence Quotient and vice versa.
