Development of the Ability to Unite Movements of Schoolchildren with the Help of Exercises Classics

Abstract

Background: The problem of lack of physical activity of schoolchildren can be solved by supplementing the standard physical education programs at school. Material and methods: Pedagogical experiment lasted nine months, which was attended by 50 children from the second grade. Children were engaged in physical culture at school twice a week for 40 minutes each lesson. General coordination abilities were determined by the test «Shuttle run 3x10m», and the ability to unite the movements of schoolchildren were determined by the test «Jumping on the spot». Statistical and mathematical analysis of the results was carried out using Microsoft Excel 2016 and Bio-Statistica 2009. The study used the parametric criterion T-Student. The result was significant at P<0.05. Results: After the pedagogical experiment, the indices in children in CG in both tests improved, but not significantly. In the EG, the children which were engaged in the standard program, but additionally performed the exercise «Classic's» at each lesson of physical culture in school, which significantly improved the general coordination abilities in the test «Shuttle run» from 10.5±0.8 sec to 8.5±0.5 sec (P<0.05) and indicators in the test «Jumping on the spot» by 34.9% (P<0.05). Conclusion:If the lessons of physical education in school with children 8-9 years to perform additional exercise «Classic's», the indicators of their coordination abilities and ability to unite movements will improve significantly.
