We consider differentiated development of motor qualities among schoolchildren. Increasing the level of physical fitness of students, is the foundation for overall performance and health, the removal of nervous experiences and negative stress, a noticeable sign of physical improvement of a person. Among the relevant issues of physical education of schoolchildren, the leading place is occupied by the issues associated with the differentiated development of motor qualities among schoolchildren. The analyzed sources about the constant acceleration of physical development in connection with socio-economic conditions are directly related to the schoolchildren of the group we study. The main indicators of physical fitness of the studied group of schoolchildren 7–14 years old coincide with the results of studies by other authors. Constant study of the level of physical fitness of schoolchildren of different classes living in a particular area allows us to objectively assess the content of pedagogical work in the lessons of various directions, effectively monitor the progress of development and the rate of growth of motor qualities in each age period.

Direct experiences with nature in childhood are essential for enhancing psychological and physical development in children. However, researches on childhood nature-related experiences and their effects are largely biased toward more developed Western countries. In this study, we created a questionnaire on childhood experiences with nature and surveyed 357 adults (>20 years old) around Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, to determine whether younger generations had fewer nature-based experiences than older generations and whether people who grew up in urban areas had fewer experiences than those who grew up in rural areas. We found that playing in rivers or waterfalls and collecting and eating tropical fruits were the most common nature-related activities experienced in childhood. There was a minimal decline in nature-related experiences among generations. However, people who grew up in rural areas had more nature-related experiences than those who grew up in urban areas. The loss of nature areas and increase in population density may accelerate the decline in nature-related experiences in urban areas. Therefore, efforts to create urban parks and other public spaces for reconnecting urban children to nature will become increasingly important for urban planning and environmental education in tropical developing countries such as Malaysia.
