The development of children's sense of self is fully influenced by the improvement of their motor abilities and is dependent upon the motor stimulation activities. Distributed practise, rather than collective exercise, is better for the development of psychomotor skills. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of structured physical education program on psychomotor skill development of school going children of Jammu region. Only manipulative ability of the development of psychomotor skills was included in the study. 520 students of both sexes (Boys and girls), whose ages ranged from 8 to 10, made up the sample. The study was subsequently restricted to the thirteen (13) tehsils in the Rajouri District of the Jammu Region. The influence of a structured physical education programme on the development of various psychomotor skills was examined using a battery of psychomotor skill tests (Pre-test). Two groups were created from the sample: a control group (260) and an experimental group (260). In the experimental group, the physical education teacher followed a systematic 12-week physical education schedule. The same set of tests (Post-test) was administered to both groups following the execution of the plan. And the raw data were collected. The’t’ test was used with a significance threshold of 0.05 to compare the development of psychomotor skills between the experimental and control groups. The results showed that both groups improved in terms of their psychomotor skill development, although the experimental group always showed statistically greater improvement. Additionally, it was shown that there were notable differences between the psychomotor skill development of school-age children in the Jammu region.
