Background: Anthropometric measurements are non-invasive quantitative measurements of the body. Provides a valuable assessment of nutritional status in children and adults. They are typically used to assess a child's general health status, nutritional adequacy, and growth and developmental pattern.

1.To assess the pre- test level of the anthropometric measurement among school children in experimental group and control group.

2.To determine the effectiveness of aerobic exercise on anthropometric measurement among school children in experimental group.

3.To compare the pre-test and post- test level of anthropometric measurement among school children between the experimental and control group.

4.To associate the post-test level of anthropometric measurement with selected demographic variables among school children on aerobic exercise in experimental group and control group.

Methodology: An Experimental and Quantitative research approach with cross sectional design used in the study was adopted to children in the age around 12-16 years with a sample size of 60 were selected. Data was collected by using demographic variables in structured questionnaire on anthropometric in the pre-test and demonstrated to perform aerobic exercise 30 minutes every day for 5 days with routine care and conducted post-test on 5^th day. Confidentiality was maintained throughout the procedure. Collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Result: We evaluated, a total of 30 students, aged 12-16 years of which 14 boys and 16 girls. Height, Weight, BMI, Waist circumference were calculated for both school girls and boys. The study shows an the aerobic exercises play an vital role and maintain the anthropometric measurement like height, weight, waist circumferences.
