“…The characteristics of good physical fitness in children can consistently be seen from the child's ability to carry out activities without feeling fatigue (Pirnes et al, 2022). The importance of physical fitness starts from children by doing activities and maintaining a pattern of lifestyle and eating well, physical fitness as an important health marker in youth (Popovici et al, 2021). Previous research studies have shown that this fitness (Drenowatz et al, 2021;Ferguson et al, 2015;Rodrigues et al, 2020) very varied in each person depending on the activity carried out, the more activities carried out by children then require good physical fitness (Lupo et al, 2023).…”

The fitness condition of elementary school students is of particular concern in general, as today's technological advances and sedentary lifestyles greatly affect body mass index and physical fitness. This study aimed to determine the body mass index and physical fitness of elementary school students aged 10–12 years. The research method used in this study is a survey with a test approach and measurement of body condition. The subjects of this study used a population sampling technique by taking 1115 students from elementary schools in Kediri City and Regency. Research instruments used in the 2010 Indonesian Physical Fitness Test for children aged 10–12 years with 5 tests, namely 40 metres of running, bent elbow hanging test, sit-up test, upright jump test, vertical jump test, and 600-metre running test Measurement of body mass index (BMI) criteria in children aged 5–18 years based on height and weight owned by students The results of this study showed that male and female students in elementary schools in Kediri City and Regency got the results of the Body Mass Index (BMI) with a normal classification. The physical fitness results of male students in elementary schools in Kediri City and Regency show physical fitness results owned by sons with good classification. The physical fitness results of female students in elementary schools in Kediri City and Regency showed that most classifications were average. This study concludes that BMI and physical fitness must be maintained and improved. In the future, based on the results of this research, policies and methods will be needed so that BMI and student fitness will be even better.

“…The method of forming students' skills to perform self-developed exercises should be the initial stage of achieving students' life success. As it is known, when getting used to the independent implementation of general developmental exercises (GDE), the mental development of students is also improved (Popovici, Popescu & Radu, 2017). In the process of teaching primary school students to independently perform GDE in physical education lessons, skills are formed that are necessary for the growth of a fully physically appropriate personality of each student, strengthening and preserving their health for many years, correctly using the values of GDE (Abdigapbarova, Smanova, Rakhmetova, Abdurahmanova & Uaidullakyzy, 2014;Amirova et al, 2018;Agranovich et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to develop primary school students’ general development exercise skills and reveal teachers’ views about their professional development on learning technologies in physical education. Mixed method was used in the study with experimental and qualitative research methods. The main relevance of this study is an analysis that conducts an experiment of a system of general development exercises that are used to perform independently by primary school students to clarify, verify the results of the study and test an effective experimental method in this direction. During the study, the experimental groups and control group of primary school students were included and the results of experiment and qualitative data were analysed. In addition, the study revealed comparative data with analysis, synthesis, questionnaires, diagnostics and other practical methods. As a result of the experimental work, a system of specific general developmental exercises (GDE) aimed at developing the skills of independent performance by primary school students through GDE was developed. Elements of life movements taken from various roots of Kazakh national culture were introduced into the system of GDE within the framework of cooperation with class teachers, a series of thematic methodological seminars were held for physical education teachers and a methodological guide was developed. Results of this study provided practical implications for primary school teachers to use systems of a new direction of preparing children for a healthy lifestyle. Keywords: General development exercises, primary school teachers, students, physical education.

“…Girls have better flexibility than boys at primary school age, and coordination based on individual range of performance [7,19]. Popovici et al [20] reported that boys have a better lower limb and upper limb strength and abdominal muscle, and girls have a better balance compared to boys. In addition, boys at the age of seven to eight obtain considerable high endurance run degrees in comparison with girls.…”

The transition from kindergarten to school is associated with a variety of negative changes. After entry to elementary school physical activity level decreases. Moreover, physical fitness level of children over the past decades have rapidly declined. Children are spending an increasing amount of time in the environments that require constant sitting. We evaluated the differences between boys and girls in physical fitness, frequency of undertaking of different forms of physical activity, prevalence of underweight and overweight, and time spent on sedentary behavior. A total of 212 first grade pupils (mean age 6.95 ± 0.43) from two standard urban schools in Poznań participated in the study. Compared to girls, boys obtained better results in 20-meter run (4.9 s and 5.0 s, p < 0.01), sit-ups (16.8 and 15.3, p < 0.05), six-minute run (829.7 m and 766.4 m, p < 0.001), and standing broad jump (106.8 cm and 99.7 cm, p < 0.01). In the sit-and-reach test girls achieved higher results than boys (17.0 cm and 14.4 cm, p < 0.001). There were no gender differences in prevalence of underweight and overweight. In conclusions, difference between genders should be taken into consideration during designing physical activity programs in the aspects of intensity and forms of physical activities.Author Contributions: Conceptualization, P.L., M.B. and A.K.; formal analysis, P.L., M.B. and A.K.; funding, M.B.; investigation, P.L., M.B. and A.K.; methodology, P.L., M.B. and A.K.; validation, P.L., M.B. and A.K.; writing-original draft preparation, P.L., M.B. and A.K.; writing-review and editing, P.L., M.B. and A.K.
