The present experimental study examined the influence of an 18-month structured physical education programme on selected psychological variables among secondary school students. A total of 60 students (30 boys and 30 girls) aged 11–13 years from Government AdarshaVidyalaya, Mysore, were selected and categorized into participatory and non-participatory groups. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using standardized psychological questionnaires. Statistical analyses using SPSS included descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, Pearson correlations, and ANOVA. Results revealed significant improvements in anxiety, aggression, and self-concept among students who participated in the physical education programme, while attention remained non-significant. The findings highlight the critical role of structured physical education in enhancing students’ psychological development. Educational implications and recommendations for strengthening school physical education are presented.
