Changes in the Manifestation of the Motor Ability Speed in Boys at the Lower Secondary Stage of Primary Education

Abstract

Tracking the changes and peculiarities in the manifestation of motor abilities in school age is one of the prerequisites that determine the effectiveness of the learning process. Effective learning, in turn, is a leading goal of modern education. In this sense, tracking and identifying peculiarities and changes in the manifestation of motor abilities is an enduring issue in the theory and practice of physical education. On the basis of the above, we set as the aim of the present study to identify the peculiarities in the manifestation of the motor ability speed in pupils at the lower secondary stage of primary education. In order to achieve this aim, we set ourselves the following tasks: 1. Reading about the problem in scientific sources. 2. Processing the results of the 30-meter-race test of the boys. 3. Revealing the impact peculiarities of the speed performance of schoolboys in the aspect of age. We fulfilled our study tasks by processing the achievements of the boys aged 10 - 14, who participated in the 30-meter-race test. We applied a variance and comparative statistical analysis which allowed us to specify the impact peculiarities of the motor ability in its age aspect. After processing and analyzing the results of the study, we found a lot of changes in the speed performance of 10-14 years old schoolboys. In this regard, it is significant to note the changes recorded within one school year, which had the appropriate level of reliability to allow us to formulate recommendations for the work of teachers of „Physical Education and Sport“.
