This study was conducted to examine the effects of jump rope exercises on physical fitness levels in children. 120 students participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups as training and control groups. Jump rope program was applied to the training group three days per week. At the beginning and end of the 12-week study, measurements from the fitnessgram test battery were applied to all students and the data obtained were evaluated in SPSS 21.0 program. T-test was used, statistical significance level was taken as p<0.05. When the pre-test and post-test results of the control group were compared, it was determined that there were no difference in curl-up and flexed arm measurement averages (p>0.05), while there were differences in push-up, flexibility left, and trunk lift tests (p<0.05). In the training group, significant difference determined in all measurements (p<0.05). When the post-test control and training group measurements were compared, it was found that there was difference in push-up, curl-up and flexibility right measurements (p<0.05). As a result, it was determined that jump rope exercises have a positive effect on push-ups, curl-ups and flexibility right mean values and it may be recommended to include in physical education lessons.
