Uticaj dodatnog telesnog kretanja - vežbanja na transformaciju motoričkih sposobnosti učenica mlađeg školskog uzrasta

Abstract

Numerous research papers emphasise the problems of regular Physical Education lessons. The most common problem is insufficient influence on the development of motor abilities. The goal of the present research was to study possible statistically significant differences in the transformation of motor abilities of younger school-age female students in relation to regular and additional body movements and exercises. The research was conducted during the second term of 2021/2022 school year in the primary school “Jovan Jovanović Zmaj” in Svilajnac in the form of a pedagogical experiment of longitudinal character with parallel groups. The sample of 39 female students was divided into two special sub-samples – according to the criterion of the additional body movement-exercise: the experimental group with 19 female students who had two additional exercises during one week which lasted for 90 minutes apart from regular Physical Education lessons. The additional exercises were in the form of volleyball training. There was also the control group with 20 female students who did not have any additional exercises apart from regular Physical Education lessons. 6 standardised movement tasks were applied in the evaluation of students’ motor abilities. Apart from the procedures of descriptive statistics, for the processing of data the t-test was applied both to the dependent and independent samples. On the basis of the obtained results and the observed differences, it can be stated that the effects of experimental treatment in the studied variables of motor abilities influenced the improvement of motor abilities in both groups from the initial to the final evaluation. All the improvements are greater in experimental group, so that statistically significant differences between the experimental and the control group in the final evaluation were observed in five out of six studied variables and they are in favor of the experimental group. The results indicate that the application of the additional body movement – exercises outsideregular Physical Education lessons is completely justified
