The goal of the study is to determine the impact of BMI on children's cardio-respiratory fitness. Cardiopulmonary fitness is especially important in children. This is something that a lot of parents aren't aware of. Children are more likely to have poor cardiac fitness since they are not allowed to play outside due to safety concerns and overprotection. This is a cross-sectional study that included 60 healthy youngsters aged 8 to 12. All of the samples are collected in a timely manner and divided into three groups based on their BMI rate (normal, overweight, and obese). Participants who were taking any drugs, had a history of neuromuscular or cardiac disease or injuries, or had any physical limitations were excluded from the study. After explaining the six-minute walk test to the samples, they were required to do it. The distance covered during the six-minute walk test was measured, and the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) was calculated using the Cahaline formula. The acquired data is analysed and compared using the KRUSKAL WALLIS test. 0.00001 (P0.05) was the p value. The mean value of group A is higher than the mean value of the other two groups. Children with a normal BMI have superior cardiopulmonary fitness than children who are overweight or obese, according to research.
