Abstract
Aim of the study. To determine changes in the level of selected coordination motor abilities and individual components of physical fitness in students aged 10 years that occurred as a result of implementing a special (based on authorial programme) curriculum of physical classes enriched with coordination exercises.Material and methods. The study participants comprised 92 students at two primary schools in Wołów. A method of pedagogical experiment carried out by means of parallel group technique was employed. During 1 of the 6 teaching hours of physical activities in each week, the experimental groups spent 20 minutes on developing the indicators of selected coordination motor abilities. The results achieved by the experimental groups were compared with the results obtained by the control groups that conducted the so-called traditional curriculum of physical education. After that, the changes in the level of selected coordination motor abilities were analysed, i.e., spatial orientation, quick reaction, kinaesthetic differentiation and movement adaptation. For the purpose of determining the level of children’s physical fitness, the trials of the International Committee onthe Standardization of Physical Fitness Tests ICSPFT were used. All the groups underwent the aforementioned trials twice, namely at the beginning and at the at the end of the 2010/2011 school year.Results. On completion of the new curriculum of physical classes that were enriched by coordination exercises, an increase in the level of selected coordination motor abilities and physical fitness diagnosed by the International Physical Fitness Test ICSPFT was observed in all experimental groups. On the other hand, control groups mostly achieved unfavourable or insignificant changes with regard to the development of the researched coordination motor abilities and physical fitness.Conclusions. The obtained results prove the assumption that by that by systematically conducting coordination exercises it is possible to achieve changes in the level of selected coordination motor abilities and physical fitness. It must be emphasized that this process ought to assume a long-term nature and the character of teacher’s impingements cannot be merely sporadic or periodic.
