Brief Summary   This study aims to establish normative reference values for the Timed Up and Down Stairs TUDS test among healthy Indian children aged 6 to 14 years  addressing the current lack of data for this demographic. In a cross-sectional design 400 children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds will participate, with anthropometric and physiological data heart rate and SpO2 collected before and after the test. Each child will perform three TUDS trials and the fastest time will be analyzed using SPSS software. The findings will provide crucial benchmarks for clinicians to assess and monitor functional mobility and identify potential developmental issues in Indian school-aged children.
