The development of humanity is directed towards general progress, but one of the negative consequences of that progress is that children are increasingly living a sedentary lifestyle, that they are increasingly becoming obese, and that they adopt bad behavioral patterns. One of the ways to encourage students to engage in a regular physical activity is to present it to them in an interesting way, with adequate methods, tools and content. The goal of this research is to determine the effects of the program of calisthenic exercises on the motor abilities of elementary school children. The research is an experimental study with parallel groups of 50 students from two fifth-grade classes. After an experimental program that lasted 10 weeks during regular physical education classes, it was determined that the boys in the experimental group achieved better results than the boys in the control group on three of the eight motor tests, while no statistically significant differences were found in girls. However, in the girls of the experimental group, progress in motor abilities was determined between the initial and final measurement, while in the girls of the control group this was not the case. The applied program of calisthenic exercises can lead to positive transformations of motor abilities, and the recommendation for future research is to enrich the content with the use of various props and music, which would probably lead to a greater engagement of girls and boys during exercise.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a sports games experimental program on improving specific motor abilities in adolescents with mental impairment. The study was conducted on a sample of 60 adolescents diagnosed with mild mental impairment, divided into two groups (experimental group EG, and control group CG) with an equal number of participants. The special program of sports games lasted for 12 weeks, with a weekly frequency of four times and a duration of 30 minutes per training. The participants of both groups were tested with the same variables within the specific motor skills for the sport of football and basketball. After a twelve-week experimental program of sports games, there were statistically significant improvements in the EG in the variables: SMFS, SMDR, SMCP with a statistical significance of r=0.000. The results of the ANOVA and MANOVA analyses indicated that after the application of the specific sports games program there was a statistically significant difference in the benefits for the EG compared to the CG, in the parameters of specific motor abilities with a statistical significance r=0.000 and the size of the impact. Based on these research results, it can be concluded that a specific exercise program conducted within twelve-week training of specifically dosed sports activities has significantly contributed the development of specific motor skills for football and basketball.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of innovative and traditional physical education classes on motor abilities of children of younger school age. The sample consisted of 42 students (26 males and 16 females), aged 8 (M = 8.54), second grade of the Elementary School "Laza Kostić" in Kovilj near Novi Sad. The experimental group consisted of 22 students (52.3%) involved in a twelve-week innovative exercise program whose characteristics were changing the content of the class and the fact that it consisted of teaching units that with their form, scope and intensity focus on development of these abilities, while the control group consisted of 20 (47.7%) students who attended traditional physical education classes in accordance with the current curriculum of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Serbia. Motor skills were assessed using six tests (Sprint from a high start at 20 meters - speed; Long jump from the board - explosive power of the lower extremities; Backwards polygon and Skipping and pulling - whole body coordination; Test T for agility and Running 4x10 meters - agility). The results showed that there is a statistically significant effect on all tested variables of motor skills in students who attended innovative classes (Sprint from a high start at 20 meters) (p = .00, ES = -.14); Long jump from the board (p = .,00, ES = .,71); Back polygon (p = .00 ES = -.44); Skipping and dragging (p = .00, ES = -.20); T test for agility (p = .01, ES = -0,22); Running 4x10 meters (p = .00; ES = -.43), while this was not the case with students who attended traditional physical education classes.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the level and changes in the level of temporal-spatial orientation in first-grade pupils from elementary schools who participated in Physical Education classes integrated with subject-related contents that used Edubal educational balls. Material/Methods: Research material comprised first-grade pupils from two classes in an elementary school in Wroclaw, Poland. The study was carried out during the second term of the 2013/2014 school year. Fifty-four pupils (26 girls and 18 boys) were diagnosed in total. The study employed the method of a pedagogical experiment that used the parallel groups technique (experimental class and control class). Results: In the first examination, pupils from the control group obtained better results compared to pupils from the experimental group (p=0.04). In the second examination, pupils from the experimental class obtained better results compared to those from the control group. However, the difference between the results obtained in both groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.87). Conclusions: The results obtained in the study lead to a conclusion that it is justified to carry out further studies in order to evaluate the level and possible changes in temporal-spatial orientation in first-grade pupils from elementary school who participate in Physical Education classes that use Edubal educational balls and to search for the relationships between the pupils’ temporal-spatial orientation and school performance.

The problem in this study is that the level of students' physical fitness is still relatively low, so it is necessary to have an optimal exercise program for physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of fitness after doing Circuit A and Circuit B. The method used was a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design research design. Where in this design there are two groups, namely one experimental group and one control group, and 60 students were divided into two parts and sampled for the experimental group using ordinal pairing technique. The instrument used is TKJI for ages 10-12 years. The results of this study: 1) Circuit A, r arithmetic 0.908 > r table 0.3610 with = 0.05, N = 30 there is a significant effect. 2) Circuit B, r count 0.8903> r table 0.3610 with = 0.05, N= 30 there is a significant effect. 3) Different test with t count 2.08 > t table 1.671 = 0.05, N = 60 there is a difference. So circuit training A is better in improving students' physical fitness. So that in this research it is hoped that in the future it can be used as a reference for the circuit training A training program as a reference for physical fitness training at the elementary school level.

This study shows the development of some motivational dimensions of secondary school students when they are treated by the experimental way of teaching. The study was conducted on a sample of 240 pupils of The Secondary School Banovici, out of which 124 males and 116 females. The pupils were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 120 pupils divided into four sections, out of which 73 males and 47 females. This is the control group. The second group also consisted of 120 pupils divided into four sections, out of which 51 male and 69 females. This group was subjected to the experimental way of teaching and thus represents the experimental group. Results show the changes in pupils’ motivational characteristics under the influence of innovative educational content that are reflected through their activities and final attitudes on the physical education value. The discriminate analysis revealed the statistically important differences between pupils that are treated by the experimental program compared to students treated by traditional program in terms of motivation in physical education classes (PE classes). However, the study, in some way, solves the problem of inactivity and pupils’ lack of interest for the PE classes, i.e. it suggests the pupils’ possible development of motivation for work using the appropriate educational contents.

Purpose: Thanks to the positive health effects of physical exercise, physical education is an integral part of the education system, with two hours per week, which is insufficient to achieve an optimal effect in transforming the anthropological status of children. The aim of the research was to determine the effects of regular and modified physical education with the application of contents from sports games (basketball, volleyball and handball) in the duration of one semester to changes in basic motor skills in pupils of the fifth grade of elementary school. Material: The study included N = 106 students of the V class, aged 10 to 11 years, clinically and mentally healthy, and with no pronounced morphological and locomotor impairments. The sample of examinees was divided into two subgroups. The first was an experimental group of 53 students, who carried out physical education classes according to the modified plan and program of sports games (basketball, volleyball and handball) for a semester. The other was a control group of 53 students who attended regular classes from physical education according to the current curriculum. Results: The results of the research at the descriptive level showed noticeable differences between the same groups in the final versus the initial measurements. Based on the results of the t-test for the control and experimental group, it can be concluded that there have been statistically significant changes in values on all variables of basic motor in the final compared to the initial measurement. By analyzing the results of the t-tests, it can be seen that the groups differ in the initial measurement only in one basic motor variable, MTAPN, and this difference is statistically significant in favor of the control group. In the final measurement, there are no significant differences between the control and the experimental group in the average values of all variables of basic motoring. Conclusions: Improving basic motor skills depends on the teacher's ability, the ability to transform the age with which he is working, and the success of certain training processes. The modified program of the experimental group has led to changes and thus proves the significant effect of the group's work program.

Physical education and physical preparation of high school students are implemented according to the education programs of secondary schools with using traditional methodological approaches and pedagogical conditions that are characterized by low efficiency in optimizing the physical condition. The targeted use of wrestling means among students aged 15-16 will not only promote this sport among the youth of Ukraine, but also contribute to the formation of a lasting interest in physical activity and physical development in general. The purpose is to determine the effectiveness of the wrestling means use in the physical education of students aged 15-16. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature data and empirical materials of scientific research (study of the development level of the physical education problem of students aged 15-16); pedagogical observation (clarification of anthropometry data, functional tests, physical and psychophysical preparedness of students aged 15-16); pedagogical experiment (determining the effectiveness of wrestling means in the program of physical culture students aged 15-16 years); methods of statistical processing (processing of empirical results at different stages of the study). Taking into account the basic principles of formation the program on physical culture of students aged 15-16 years, as well as the basic principles of physical education of this studied contingent, we have developed an author's program with an emphasis on the wrestling means use. Results. During the pedagogical experiment, students in the groups that participated in the study were able to improve their level of functionality, physical and psychophysiological preparedness. At the end of the school year, were engaged higher increases in functional capabilities at students who trained by the experimental program of physical culture. Nevertheless, statistically the intergroup advantage in favor of the experimental group was confirmed only in the Shtange test (p≤0.05). In students’ physical preparedness of experimental group there were pronounced changes in most indicators. Comparison of intergroup differences indicated the advantage of the experimental over the control group in all indicators of physical preparedness. These results were reliable in six out of ten tests (p≤0.05–0.001). At the end of the pedagogical experiment, a significant advantage was observed in favor of the experimental group for most psychophysiological indicators (p≤0.05–0.001), only in the results of the tapping test there was no statistical confirmation of intergroup differences.

The purpose of this study was to implement a comprehensive teaching program based on the principles of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model and questioning, and to assess its consequences for students’ satisfaction of basic psychological needs, motivation, perceptions of ability and intention to be physically active during Physical Education lessons in primary education. A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Participants were 111 students from two different groups of fifth and sixth graders, all enrolled in one primary school. Participants were divided into experimental and control group. Experimental group experienced a TGfU unit, according to small side games and the questioning. Control group experienced a small side games unit, without questioning. Within-group results showed that experimental group students reported significantly higher mean scores in all dependents variables of the study, in both genders. Results showed that control group only reported significantly higher mean scores in intention to be physically active variable, also in both genders. The results demonstrate the need to implement didactic units under comprehensive pedagogical approaches to improve motivation and the intention to develop healthy lifestyle habits in female and male students. More researches are needed to support this evidence.
