A report reveals only 34% of Indian schoolchildren meet aerobic fitness benchmarks, highlighting poor cardiovascular endurance nationwide. While flexibility and core strength are strong, obesity, lack of open spaces, and inadequate protein intake contribute to the weakness. Public school students show better endurance, but lower body strength remains a concern across all systems.
