Purpose: The current study's objective was to see the impact of covid 19 on the motor fitness of school going students.
Methodology: Total 60 students (30 effected) (30 unaffected) age ranging 22 to 26 years and the weight category between 57 to 68 kilograms from Gwalior (M.P.) served as the subjects for the study. The data was collected from AAHPER Youth Fitness Test Battery (1976). To compare these two groups motor fitness independent ‘t’ test was employed. The comparisons were made on each of the six items mentioned in the AAHPER youth fitness test
Findings: The findings of the study clearly indicate that in flexed arm hang, sit ups, shuttle run and 600 yard run the unaffected subjects performed better which was statistically significant as compared to covid effected subjects. Similarly in standing broad jump and 50 yards run the covid effected subjects performed better than the covid unaffected subjects. 
Results: The finding of the study revealed that there was significant effect of covid 19 on motor components of the students. 
Conclusion: Based on the analysis and within the limitations of the present study, it was inferred that all selected strength variables namely flexed arm hang, sit ups and standing long jump, shuttle run, 50 Yards dash and 600 yards Run/Walk has shown significant difference among covid effected and covid unaffected person in all motor fitness components except 50-meter dash and standing broad jump.
