The main aim of the current study was to examine the impact of physical and sports activities on aggression level of the female hearing impaired students of the elementary schools of Punjab. Sixty six students of 6th, 7th and 8th grade classes were selected from the special children elementary schools of Punjab Province through simple random sampling. These participants were divided into two groups, experimental (n=33) and control (n=33). The participants of experimental group were gone under proper physical activities and guidelines to overcome on aggression through sports for two months. For data collection an adopted scale on aggression was used. Descriptive statistics, t-test and regression analysis techniques were applied for data analysis. Cronbach’s alpha reliability statistic was 0.98. The average age of the participants was 14.24± 1.34 years. The mean of the over-all aggression scale was 2.85 ±1.81 which showed that the aggression level of the female hearing impaired students was close to moderate level. The aggression level of the female hearing impaired students of experimental group was significantly (p<0.05) less than the aggression level of control group. The number of playing days in a week had inverse and significant (p<0.05) impact on aggression. The results of the study will be helpful for the teachers, parents and sports coaches of special children to reduce their aggression levels through sports and physical activities.
