A total of 275 subjects (boys and girls) were selected for this study from the age group of 11 to 13 years. The Takei Digital hand grip Dynamometer used as a testing tool. Results: The calculated t-value as follow for boys (G1 = 0.193, G2 = 0.873, G3 = 0.133) and girls (G1 = 0.180, G2 = 0.494, G3 = 0.245) less than the table value at the 0.01 level. Conclusion: - There is no significant difference between the school students (girls and boys) in term of arm strength (p < 0.01). The analysis of the study revealed no difference in arm strength among school students.
