- Abstract
Background: Coordination exercises improve the ability to concentrate in 7 and 8 year-old children. It will be more effective if to take account of a differentiated approach based on the type of child's nervous system. Objectives: The aim of the research is to determine the level of the influence of coordination exercises on the development of coordination abilities and the ability to concentrate in schoolchildren of different types during physical education classes. Methods: Young schoolchildren (60 boys and girls of 7 and 8 years old) took part in the research. Before the research, the children were divided into 3 identical groups, 20 children in each group. The ability to concentrate was determined by the "Bourdon test", the level of development of coordination abilities was determined by the test "Shuttle run 3 x 10", the strength of the nervous system was determined by the "Tepping test". The criterion of "T-Student" was the method of statistical and mathematical processing. Results: The pedagogical experiment lasted 7 months. After the experiment, we observed changes in all indicators. In group KG children had the usual program for physical education for schoolchildren of the 1st grade. The indicators in the test "Shuttle Run 3x10" slightly decreased from 10.3 ± 0.6 sec. up to 10.4 ± 0.6 sec. (P > 0.05). At the same time, attention indicators improved from 51% to 54% (P > 0.05). In group EG-1 children had the same program as children from KG, but at the beginning of the class they did coordination exercises. The indicators in the test "Shuttle Run 3 x 10" improved from 10.3 ± 0.6 sec. up to 10,1 ± 0,5 sec. (P > 0.05). Attention indicators increased by 27% (P < 0.05). In group EG-2 children also did exercises for the development of coordination abilities, but the strength of the nervous system significantly improved as the differentiation of the load was taken into account. In the test "Shuttle Run 3x10" the result improved from 10.3 ± 0.6 sec. up to 9.7 ± 0.5 sec. (P < 0.05). The concentration of children's attention in this group increased from 48% to 83% (P< 0.05). Conclusion: If to develop coordination skills during each class of physical education of 7 and 8-year-old children, they will improve their coordination abilities and the ability to concentrate. Especially if the students are divided into groups taking account of the strength of the nervous system, their indicators will be even higher.
