ABSTRACT

Background: The problem of insufficient motor activity of schoolchildren can be solved by introducing additional exercises for each lesson in physical culture at school.

Aim: To study the impact of the exercise «Classic’s» on the coordination ability and the ability to reaction quickly to younger schoolchildren.

Methods: the study lasted nine months. It was attended by fifty schoolchildren 8-9 years. Physical education classes at the school were twice a week for 40 minutes each. Assessment of the level of coordination abilities – Shuttle run 3x10m; Evaluation of the ability to react quickly – Stop rolling the ball with your foot. Programs that have been used for mathematical calculations - bio-stat 2009 and Microsoft excel 2016. The parametric criterion t-student was used, the reliability at P>0.05.

Results: Before the start of the study in the EG and CG indices were about the same. After the end of the study, the indicators in CG did not improve significantly. Children from CG improved performance in the test Shuttle run by 3.9%. The indicators of Stopping the ball with the foot also improved not significantly from 269.3±7.0 cm to 260.9±9.0 cm (P<0.05). At the same time, there were significant improvements in EG in both tests. In the test, the Shuttle run result improved by 19.1%, and the indicators of Stopping the ball with the foot improved from 271.3±6.1 cm to 246.0±6.8 cm (P<0.05). This indicates the effectiveness of the use of new exercises in physical education lessons at school.

Conclusion: if the physical education classes at school to perform the exercise «Classic’s», it will improve the performance of not only coordination abilities, but also the reaction of schoolchildren 8-9 years, increase interest in classes, improve the motor density of the lesson in physical education at school.
