Results: The average physical fitness score in pretest was 9.7 which increased to 11.48 and the mean posttest mental wellbeing score 31.75 was less than the mean pretest score 26.75. It is evident that the physical exercise was statistically significant [P < 0.0001] improved the physical and mental wellbeing of children. Conclusion: The findings of the research study concluded that physical exercise is an effective inter-vention in improving children’s physical and mental wellbeing
