The demand to improve physical education process of elementary school pupils by the tools of innovative dancing fitness branch – Zumba Kids is described in the article. Positive changes in dynamics among children have occurred in indicators of functional and physical preparation in conditions of the experiment. The goal of the work is the optimization process of physical education of elementary school pupils by Zumba Kids tools. There were investigated children’s physical development, functional and physical preparation and experimentally was checked the effectiveness of the implementation program of Zumba Kids tolls into process of physical education. There were 54 participants, 26 among them are boys and 28 are girls (the children’s age is 9 years old). The methods of the research are theoretical analysis and literature sources generalization; physiological research methods; pedagogical observation (passing of control standards); pedagogical experiment and mathematical statistics methods. There are presented and scientifically justified the program of implementing Zumba Kids tools into physical education lessons of elementary school pupils. The content of the program consists of the synthesis of energetic modern dances with aerobics, fitness exercises, stretching and also exercises for breathing exercises and muscle relaxation. The elaborated program is realized in the educational process and proved its effectiveness. The results of investigation have shown its positive influence on the functional and physical preparation of elementary school pupils. It was proved by mathematical statistics methods.
The research is dedicated to searching of new tools for higher effectiveness of the application of athletic tools to develop speed of secondary school children. The goal of research is to prove theoretically and test experimentally the program for speed development of secondary school children (11-12 years) with priority use of athletic tools.To realize the goal such methods were applied: scientific theoretical, pedagogical observation, experiment, mathematical statistics methods. Boys are from 6 grades (11-12 years old) have participated. Pupils belong to main medical group. The results. There was elaborated and experimentally proved the program’s effectiveness. We have got statistically significant difference (p0.05), better results from experimental group of performing control exercises: “30m run (sec)”, “30m run from place (sec)”, “run at the place during 5sec (number of movements)”. One exercise has got better result from control group - “run at the place during 5sec (number of movements)”. We have performed evaluation of students’ speed development before and after the experiment. Amount of pupils with high level of competence has grown in exercises “30m run (sec)” for 13.3%, “60m run (sec)” for 20%, “shuttle run 4×9m (sec)” for 6.7%, “long jump from place (cm) for 13.3%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
