Aim. In the present paper we aim at highlighting the influence of motion games in improving the components of psychomotricity in the physical education lesson in primary school education (the preparatory school year) and in shaping, among pupils, the belief that the physical education activity is a personal necessity. Methods. During the 2018–2019 school year, within the physical education classes we implemented a program of 20 motion games, for the first semester, and 17, for the second semester, meant to improve the psychomotor components. The research was carried out within the secondary school no. 1 Matca, Galati County, on a group of 50 preparatory school year pupils – the control group (24 subjects – 10 girls and 14 boys) and the experiment group (26 subjects – 13 girls and 13 boys), aged 6–7 years. For the evaluation of psychomotricity, we used the Bruininks-Oseretsky battery of tests, for segmental coordination and upper limb coordination, and the Motorin Test for general coordination. Results. In the final test, due to the implementation of motion games specific to the components of psychomotor activity, we noticed an ease of execution in the experiment group as compared to the control group, which still showed awkwardness and uncertainty in executing certain components of psychomotor activity by repeating the errors made in the initial test. Conclusions. After the creation and application of the training program in the school teaching activity, we reached the conclusion that it led to the acquisition of a high-level psychomotor components, and that it was qualitatively more valuable than the simple use of methods based on simple strength, sprint or endurance running, or dexterity exercises

IntroductionSchool-based active mile initiatives such as The Daily Mile (TDM) are widely promoted to address shortfalls in meeting physical activity recommendations. The iMprOVE Study aims to examine the impact of TDM on children’s physical and mental health and educational attainment throughout primary school.Methods and analysisiMprOVE is a longitudinal quasi-experimental cohort study. We will send a survey to all state-funded primary schools in Greater London to identify participation in TDM. The survey responses will be used for non-random allocation to either the intervention group (Daily Mile schools) or to the control group (non-Daily Mile schools). We aim to recruit 3533 year 1 children (aged 5–6 years) from 77 primary schools and follow them up annually until the end of their primary school years. Data collection taking place at baseline (children in school year 1) and each primary school year thereafter includes device-based measures of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and questionnaires to measure mental health (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire) and educational attainment (ratings from ‘below expected’ to ‘above expected levels’). The primary outcome is the mean change in MVPA minutes from baseline to year 6 during the school day among the intervention group compared with controls. We will use multilevel linear regression models adjusting for sociodemographic data and participation in TDM. The study is powered to detect a 10% (5.5 min) difference between the intervention and control group which would be considered clinically significant.Ethics and disseminationEthics has been approved from Imperial College Research Ethics Committee, reference 20IC6127. Key findings will be disseminated to the public through research networks, social, print and media broadcasts, community engagement opportunities and schools. We will work with policy-makers for direct application and impact of our findings.

The aim of this paper was to highlight the promotion degree of movement games in middle school education, by looking at its use in the structural component of the physical education lesson. In order to capture various aspects regarding the use of movement games in the physical education lesson, 40 observation charts were made for the lessons conducted at two Bacau schools. Following the results recorded during the studied physical education lessons, and based on the observation charts, it can be said that the use of movement games did not record impressive values, and their formative value has not been exploited at its full potential. That is why one can say that the physical education teachers should make more use of their imagination and creativity in using these means during their lesson.

SummaryThe physical education class preparatory grade students have only recreative caracter but it must contribute to increasing the effort capacity of the student The physical education class for preparatory grade students cannot have only a recreative character but it must contribute to increasing the effort capacity of the students’ body which can result into modifocations and adaptations of different organs, systems and apparatuses. Movement games are basic ways of reaching the goals of physical education at this age level (6-7 years old). Children, actively participate in accomplishing the tasks and, because of their somatic and functional particularities, they tend to reach a higher pulse rate than in standard exercises. This is what recommends a closer attention from the teacher in order to graduate effort correctly. The purpose of the present work was to apply a protocol of density in the preparatory school grade for measuring functional density and, implicitely, effort dynamics during that particular class. The hypothesis of the research was to obtain concrete and objective data about the values of cardiac frequency during effort in preparatory school students in order to be able to graduate effort in the future. The experiment took place on November 19th 2013, at "Alexandru Macedonski" Gymnasium School in Craiova at the preparatory school grade A, teacher M.G. The density protocol was applied by the students in their 3rd year study, The Faculty of Letters - Pedagogy Primary and Preparatory School Level, Craiova. The interpretation of the density protocol was about measuring motric, pedagogical and functional density, the values of the cardiac rate by sketching the effort dynamics. All data was given to the teacher, to be rightly informed, and to be able to graduate effort correctly for the children, in the future.

It is especially important for the physical education teacher to have a good professional training because, in the current legislative context, he must be able to manage the behavioural problems of students during classes and at the same time be able to carry out effectively, efficiently and qualitatively lessons. The ability to observe and monitor the behaviour of students with special educational needs will allow the physical education teacher to record their progress by applying means of action, especially in the form of movement games, adapted to achieve integration and socialization during classes and to temper and shape their behaviour for a good hour. Aim of the research: The aim of this study was to analyze the aspects of integration and inclusion in the literature, highlighting the importance of categories of means for various conditions encountered in the physical education lesson, to accommodate students with special educational needs in primary school.

While exercising, there is a purposeful impact on the complex of body natural properties, which belongs to physical qualities of a person. Affecting physical qualities, under certain conditions, achieve a significant change of the level and direction of their development. In this regard, the aim of the research paper is to analyse the developed and scientifically grounded methods of circuit training for optimization of Physical Education lessons for primary school children. The Purpose of the Study – to elaborate and scientifically substantiate the training methods optimization of Physical Education lessons for primary school children. Research Organization, based on the fact, that 107 pupils of 9th–10th forms took part at the experiment. They were divided into experimental and control groups (experimental groups include 27 boys and 26 girls; control groups –28 boys and 26 girls). The experiment was attended by 9–10 year-old boys and girls that were included to the main medical group. Results.The chosen tests were informative in order to the dynamics detection of the developed methods and gave a positive growth for both groups (p <0,05; p <0,01). But the best result was shown by the experimental group. Due to the fact that during the methodology construction, not only the sensitive development, but also those aspects that would motivate the children before classes, were taken into consideration. Conclusions. Data, obtained during the methodology implementation of the circuit training, proved the effectiveness of our methods, that used during the school year as a modernized tool for increasing the level of physical preparedness of primary school children.

La presente investigación pretendió analizar los efectos del uso del blog educativo (i.e. Edublog) sobre la coeducación, compromiso con esta herramienta digital, calificación e intención de ser físicamente activo en clase de educación física en educación primaria. El estudio corresponde con un diseño cuasi-experimental, usando un grupo control, a priori, no equivalente y, un grupo experimental para una muestra total de 40 estudiantes de educación primaria (50.50% chicas; Medad = 10.55, DTedad = .51). Se tomaron medidas acerca del conocimiento de equidad y calificación al final del programa de intervención, medidas sobre la implicación con el Edublog durante todo el programa, mientras que la intención de ser físicamente activo se evaluó al inicio y al final del programa. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de conocimiento de equidad, implicación con el Edublog y calificación a favor del grupo experimental. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de intención de ser físicamente activo entre ambos grupos. A modo de conclusión, el Edublog puede ser un recurso didáctico tenido en cuenta por el profesorado a la hora de mejorar las experiencias educativas del alumnado de educación primaria cuando participa en educación física.AbstractThis research aimed at examining the effects of the usage of the educational blog (or Edublog) on coeducation, commitment to this digital tool, grades and intention to be physically active in Physical Education lessons in Primary school. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with, a priori, a non-equivalent control group and an experimental group for a total of 40 primary school students (50.50% girls; Mage = 10.55, SDage = .51). Measures on knowledge of equity and grades were taken at the end of the intervention programme, measures on a commitment to Edublog were collected throughout the programme, while the intention to be physically active were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention. The results revealed statistically significant differences in the level of knowledge of equity, the commitment of Edublog and grades a favour of the experimental group. There was a nonsignificant difference in the level of intention to be physically active among both groups. In conclusion, Edublog can be a learning recourse to be considered by teachers in improving primary school students’ educational experiences when they participate in Physical Education.

Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) is one of the pedagogical models used for increasing health through physical education (PE), being associated with several psychological benefits. However, only few studies have studied the effect of TGfU on physical fitness. This study aims at assessing the changes in students’ physical fitness after a six-month TGfU-based program with primary school children. A total of eight schools from the state of Sonora (Mexico) were randomly distributed into experimental (EG) and control group (CG). The final sample consisted of 188 pupils (100 boys, 88 girls; age = 10.22 ± 0.76 years) from the 5th and 6th grade. Employing a quasi-experimental design, physical fitness was assessed by means of the Eurofit test battery. At post-test, EG obtained significantly higher scores than CG in flexibility, abdominals, speed (p < 0.001), handgrip (p = 0.002), low-limb power (p = 0.032), and cardiorespiratory fitness (p = 0.048). Our findings suggest that TGfU can be a valid alternative to traditional methodologies not only when the aim of a PE unit is to stimulate the cognitive domain, but also for the development of physical fitness attributes that may help pupils develop in a comprehensive manner.

The primary aim of this study was to examine developmental differences in children's evaluation of their physical competence within the physical education lesson. Participants (N = 160) from two groups in secondary school (Year 7 and Year 10) completed two questionnaires that measured their levels of perceived competence and the criteria used to assess competence. The actual level of a participant’s physical competence was ascertained through teacher evaluation. Univariate and multivariate analyses of data disclosed three main findings. First, children’s accuracy in evaluating their own competence increases with age. Second, the sources of information children use to judge their ability is also age-dependent. Gender differences also emerged, indicating that overall males exhibited a greater preference for game outcome/ease of learning new skills as criteria to judge their competence. Third, the information sources children use in competency judgments was directly linked to the accuracy of these judgments.
