        abstract = {This study aimed to examine the relationship between personality traits and motor fitness among high school male Kho-Kho players in Tumkur District. The sample comprised 60 players aged 13 to 16 years, selected based on their participation in state and national-level tournaments. Motor fitness variables assessed included speed (50-meter Sprint Test), endurance (600-yard Run Test), and flexibility (Sit-and-Reach Test). Personality traits were evaluated using Eysenck’s Personality Inventory, focusing on extroversion, introversion, and emotional stability. Statistical analyses, including Pearson’s correlation and ANOVA, were employed to explore relationships between variables. The findings indicated that 95% of players were ambiverts, with no significant correlations between personality traits and motor fitness variables. However, significant variability was observed in endurance levels among players. These results suggest that while personality traits may not directly influence motor fitness, there is a notable variation in endurance among players, highlighting the importance of targeted endurance training to enhance performance.},
