Eksperimentalni program nastave fizičkog vaspitanja kao faktor poboljšanja motoričkih sposobnosti učenica mlađeg školskog uzrasta

Abstract

The aim of the paper was to determine the effects of physical education teaching which included rhythmic gymnastics elements on the transformation of motor status of 9 and 10-year-old girls. The research sample consisted of 110 participants, divided into two sub-samples. The first sub-sample, the control group, consisted of female students (n = 51) who attended regular physical education classes at school. The second sub-sample, the experimental group (n = 59), consisted of female students who, in addition to their regular physical education classes at school, were involved in the experimental program with elements of rhythmic gymnastics, during 36 weeks (twice a week for 45 minutes each). The motor skills assessment included a battery of 21 variables. The results indicate a significant difference between the experimental and the control group in 15 variables of the examined motor skills. The confidence intervals of corrected interval have proven that the experimental program of physical education teaching with elements of rhythmic gymnastics is the most effective means of transforming the motor abilities of repetitive and static strength and partly of speed and balance. Such research studies should initiate further more complex and broader studies, with a greater number of participants across the wider area, leading to more effective transformations of anthropological status
