This study attempted to make an objective analysis of the results of the Physical Fitness Test of the Revised Physical Education and School Sports Program of the Grade Five Pupils in the District of Motiong, Division of Samar. There is a marked improvement in the performance of the Grade Five pupils in physical fitness during the post-test. Such a situation occurred because of the positive effects of the physical fitness test on the physical growth and development including the physical prowess of the children. The rejection of the null hypothesis in this study attested to the following arguments that: a) Physical fitness training is taking a major part in the development of the physical prowess in children; b) Physical fitness exercises done even only for a period of six months has led to a significant effect on the physical performance of the children; c) providing a training program in school for the development of the physical prowess of the children is necessary and helpful; d) on-going physical training within six months, done even only for two hours per week is already credible in helping the children improve their physical performance; and e) programmed physical training or exercises designed for PESS instruction helps in the development and/or improvement of agility, endurance, speed, coordination, flexibility, strength and power, and the overall performance of children. The acceptance of null hypothesis can be attested to the fact that the six months training in physical fitness is not enough to produce better results or performances in our children; and growth and development of the muscles take place for a longer period of time.
