Physical education plays a crucial role in the comprehensive development of individuals, so it should be implemented from an early age, even during the preschool period. It is believed that proper physical education during this stage can lay a strong foundation for a child's lifelong physical development. Hence, this study aims to select a number of physical assessment tests for 5- to 6-year-old preschool boys in Hanoi, Vietnam. The research employed document referencing, surveys, pedagogical tests, and statistical analysis methods. The study sample consists of 375 preschool boys aged 5 to 6 in Chuong My District, Hanoi, Vietnam. The findings have identified ten physical assessment tests, including standing height (cm), BMI (kg/m²), Pignet index, 10-meter sprint (seconds), standing long jump (cm), handgrip strength (kg), forward bend (cm), slalom run through five poles (seconds), and one-leg balance (seconds).
