The development of children's interests and talents from an early age is a crucial aspect of optimizing their physical, psychological, and social potential. However, limited access to formal sports facilities and structured training programs often hinders children from participating in regular physical activities. Therefore, alternative approaches that are flexible, accessible, and developmentally appropriate are needed. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of home-based athletics training in enhancing children's interest and talent from an early age. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The participants consisted of 30 children aged 7–12 years who participated in an eight-week home-based athletics training program conducted three to four times per week. Data were collected using interest questionnaires, observation sheets, and athletic skill tests. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests. The findings revealed a significant improvement in both children's interest and athletic talent following the intervention. The mean interest score increased from 65.40 in the pretest to 82.75 in the posttest, while the mean athletic talent score improved from 60.20 to 80.10. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores, with significance values below 0.05 (p = 0.000). These results indicate that home-based athletics training effectively enhances children's interest and athletic talent. The success of the program was supported by enjoyable and varied training methods, active parental involvement, a supportive home environment, and the integration of digital media. In conclusion, home-based athletics training is an effective strategy for promoting children's potential development and encouraging lifelong engagement in physical activity from an early age.
