The purpose of this study is to analyze the role and importance of specific physical exercises in the development of the body schema in preparatory class pupils and its effect on the development of maturity. Methods: The experiment took place over a period of 10 weeks in which two physical education lessons per week were scheduled; the lessons include specific themes for the development of the body schema and contain exercises to arouse pupils’ interest in sports and physical activities from this age. A number of 150 pupils aged between 5 years and 6 months and 7 years and 6 months participated in the experiment. The pupils were divided into two groups: the experimental group (76 pupils, 32 boys and 34 girls) and the control group (74 pupils, 31 boys and 33 girls). Next, the “Draw-a-Person” Test was applied at the beginning and end of the experiment. Results: The analysis of the results highlights the fact that after completing the intervention plan there is a significant improvement in the results of the experimental group on the Maturity Scale and implicitly on the three development scales: Head Scale, Body Schema Scale, and Clothing Scale. Among the three scales, the Body Schema Scale has the greatest influence on the Maturity Scale (r = 0.841). Conclusions: The preparatory class produces a connection between the kindergarten and the school; furthermore, the physical education lessons with an emphasis on the development of the body scheme contribute to the development of maturity and school preparation of the pupils.

"Introduction: The physical education lesson in primary school can make an essential contribution to the psychomotor development of students. The purpose of this study is to highlight the progress made in the development of the Body Schema following the application of a specific intervention plan, progress verifiable in graphic form. Material and method: The target group consisted of 10 pupils (5 boys and 5 girls) aged between 6 and 7 years, pupils in the preparatory class who scored low and medium on the initial test. The experiment lasted 10 weeks, with 2 physical education lessons per week. The intervention plan included exercises and motor tracks focused on the development of the body schema. The “draw- a- person” test was applied. The scores were calculated for the Maturity Scale consisting of: Head Scale, Body Schema Scale and Clothing Scale. These scores underwent a qualitative interpretation of the differences between the initial and the final test. Results: There are visible differences of the “draw- a - person” drawings in the first and final tests of the students included in the study. The Body Schema was better integrated in the Maturity Scale, which means that the intervention program was efficient. Conclusions: Physical education and sports lessons with topics for developing the body schema were effective in recording the progress of this component. Key words: psychomotor skills, body schema, maturity scale, exercises, drawing. "

Aim The purpose of this review is to summarize the scientific literature that examined the importance of physical activity programs in the development of body scheme in primary school students by identifying methods and tests used to test body scheme on motor development, spatial-temporal orientation and coordination. Method Using the electronic databases Research Gate and Web of Science, we searched for articles using key words, including terms related to methods, intervention plan, children’s age and body schemes. We selected only those that followed the influences of an intervention plan on children. Results We selected 30 articles regarding the development of the body scheme, the spatial-temporal orientation and the coordination through an activity plan. The study results in the three categories show a significant influence on body scheme, spatial orientation and coordination. Following the tests applied and the results obtained, we can say that a well-structured program of physical activity influences the child’s development in terms of body scheme. If it is correctly integrated, one can avoid the existence of body diagram disorders that are quite common for children. Conclusion The harmonious physical development of the child is influenced by a program of physical activity. Early participation in these programs is recomended in order to avoid disorders of body scheme.
