Efikasnost primene poligona kao organizacionog oblika rada u nastavi fizičkog vaspitanja

Abstract

The research presented in this paper aimed to determine the effects of using circuit training as a teaching method in physical education. The sample consisted of 95 students (age 7.7±0.7 years), divided into two groups. Circuit training was used in physical education classes with the experimental group (N=49) over the course of eight weeks, while the control group (N=46) had physical education classes according to the regular P.E. program. All the subjects in the study were given four motor skills tests to assess their speed, coordination, explosive strength and repetitive strength. Multivariate analysis of covariance showed that at the end of the study, subjects in the experimental group performed significantly better than subjects in the control group, while the paired sample T-test found the effects of the procedure to be statistically significant (p=0,00). The study highlights the importance of using circuit training as an organizational form of instruction in physical education to improve the motor skills of school children.
