“…It is most noticeable in pupils from primary and pre-high school stages of the major educational degree (from 7 to 13 years), which we believe is natural, on the one hand, the natural development of children, and on the other -it is related to the sensitive periods of development. For coordination abilities as a component of agility, these periods are between 7 and 12 years (Dimitrova, 2014) and after puberty, but the highest indices appear at the age of 13-14 years (Borukova, 2019). A statistically signifi cant difference, however, is observed only between 3 rd and 4 th grade pupils.…”

“…The educational process of physical education is aimed at mastering the knowledge, skills and habits, developing the motor, moral, and volitional qualities of the adolescents. In turn, physical fi tness in the training process aims at a versatile physical development, enhancing the functionality of all organs and systems in the human body, strengthening and stiffening of the child's organism from the beginning of school age (Borukova, 2019).…”

“…In the field of physical education, there are various tests to assess the agility and coordination abilities of pupils. The most commonly used are: throwing a ball at a target, running on a low gymnastic bench (Grozdeva, 2010), orientation shuttle run test for speed, hanging target throw to assess upper limb response orientation ability, low jump to assess kinesthetic differentiation ability, backwards ball throw at a target (Gallotta, 2010, Jarani et al 2015, Tankoucheva, 2019, T-test for agility (Borukova, 2019, Miladinov et al, 2019. Some authors (Zamashkin, Tolstova, 2013, Pisarenkova, 2010 are of the opinion that the improvement of coordination abilities and other physical qualities at school age is an urgent task of the school process.…”

Physical activity is an important criterion for a healthy lifestyle and a prerequisite for im- proving the motor abilities of adolescents. The aim of this study is to establish the level of development of physical quality agility in all stages of school education. In order to fulfi ll the set aim of the research, we used sports-peda- gogical testing. The research was carried out with 232 pupils from 1st to 12th grade. We used variation analysis and comparative analysis with t-criterion of Student for independent samples to process the study results. Following the dynamics of the development of the studied indicator between the different classes, we report a positive increase six times, and a decrease in the result - three times (from 2nd to 3rd grade; from 7th to 8th grade and from 10th to 11th grade). Between grades 5th – 6th and 8th – 9th there was no increase in the results. The average number of points reported for each class ranged between 9 and 13 points, which according to the evaluation table means a “GOOD” assessment of agility development. Our study shows that the dynamics of the mean level of the researched indicator in the age aspect changes regressively, with the values decreasing from 1st to 12th grade. Comparing the changes in the mean values of pupils divided by class and gender, we established that, overall, boys are faster than girls when performing the test.

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the sport sector worldwide as well as sports calendar. Sports events have been cancelled or rescheduled like Summer Olympic and Paralympic games. The same had happened with the Special Olympics (SO) events. The pandemic constitutes a global challenge to the sport movements in terms of security and safety for all participants. Much more complicated it appears to secure the athletes with intellectual disabilities. Pandemic research has found that people with intellectual disabilities are almost six times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the general population. The SO programs organizers will face unknown so far issues in terms of security and safety. Aim: The aim of the study is to explore the influence of new safety and security events protocols of Special Olympics on the mission and particularly on the athletes. Methods: We applied documentary analysis including theoretical-logical analysis, systematic approach (structural-functional, structural-component and structural-integral aspect), comparative analysis, video analysis, field notes and focus group composed by participants in pervious SO World games (delegation leaders, coaches and parents). Results: The results of our research shows that most of the national SO programs are reporting that the pandemic have a devastating impact on the athletes and the movement in general. The new live reality is affecting not only the daily routines of athletes with intellectual disabilities but also their social interaction in terms of communication and emotional functioning. Conclusion: Having in mind that safety is first priority and applying all protocols, SO is attempting to preserve the mission, to ensure joy of sport and physical activity. In the new reality close contact and friendships are approached in a way to preserve them and to keep them as essential part of the events.

“…The use of factor analysis allows to determine the most important for each set of features, which are grouped in the so-called factors, reveal the priority sides of the factor structure of physical development and physical capacity, which is why it is extremely widely used in sports science, as in sportsmanship (Boshkova, 2007;Boshkova, Boshkov, 2017;Bonova, Labros, 2018;Borukova, 2018;Hristova, 2003;Tzarova, 2013) and physical education in the educational system (Mavrudieva, 2008;Mavrudieva et al, 2017;Borukova, 2019;Kasabova, 2011;Tzarova-Vasileva, 2012, 2017Mavrudiev, 2018).…”

The aim of our research is to reveal the factor structure and to identify the main factors of the physical development and physical capacity of the studied population. Subject of the study are the factors of physical development and physical capacity of students. Object of the study are 41 student girls from UNWE. The following research methods were used to solve the aim and tasks of the study: Theoretical analysis, anthropometry, sports-pedagogical testing, mathematical and statistical methods. Six morpho-functional indicators were used to assess the physical development, including calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI). In order to determine the physical capacity of the students, 8 indicators were tested. In order to process the results of the study, we used: Variable and Factor Analysis-To reveal the factor structure and to identify the main factors of physical development and physical capacity in the studied population. Correlation matrices are factorized by the main component method, followed by Varimax orthogonal rotation (Wainer, Braun, 1988). The factor structure of the physical development and the physical capacity of the students studied by us from the University of National and World Economy is made up of 5 main factors, which in their entirety explain the high percentage of the initial variance of the studied phenomenon-76.51%.
