This study was carried with the objective of developing a running ability test for Kho-Kho players. 75 female Kho-Kho players who have represented their colleges in state intercollegiate tournaments were selected as subject for the study. 5 tests were selected for this study namely: Zig- zag run test, shuttle run test, oval run test and distance run test. After applying one way ANOVA it was calculated that each test differ from each other significantly f (4, 71) = 2.50, p< .05. Product moment and Carrfush’s correlation revealed that distance run is the most appropriate test to measure running ability of Kho-Kho players. This test specifically developed for female Kho-Kho players. Similar study can be done male Kho-Kho players to develop male specific Kho-Kho running ability test.
