Improving the educational process of physical education at primary school using fitness technologies

The research paper discusses the peculiarities of the educational process in elementary school during physical education lessons. It was found that the development of physical qualities of 8-9 years-old schoolchildren depends on the complex influence on them through the use of various fitness-technologies. The purpose of the work is to improve the educational process of physical education based on the development and implementation of fitness technologies in elementary school. Research results. Our work showed the search of optimal ways of improving the physical qualities of younger schoolchildren in the educational process of physical education. The pedagogical experiment showed that the fitness-complexes reliably affect at the physical qualities of 8-9-year-old schoolchildren during physical education lessons using fitness equipment (Р˂0.05). In the experimental group, the result in the speed running (30 m) improved by 0.5 s for boys and 0.4 s for girls at the end of the experiment. The result improved by 0.7s for boys and by 0.6s for girls during the control exercise – running 4x9m. The result of the incline indicated an improvement of 0.65 cm for boys and 1.6 cm for girls during the use of fitness equipment. Due to the improvement of the result during the control exercise – wring in 1 minute (quantity) – after the experiment in the experimental group, the result increased in 5 times for boys, and in 4 times for girls. Comparative results of the test exercise – long jump is following: the results show that after the experiment in the experimental group: the result improved for boys for 7 cm, for girls for 4 cm. So, we see an improvement in the results of all control exercises that determine physical qualities of elementary school students, which indicates the effectiveness of the chosen methodology. The scientific originality of the work lies in the systematization of fitness-exercises which help to develop all physical qualities at primary school in the process of physical education. The practical value lies in the development of complexes of fitness exercises, the system of their use which help to increase the physical qualities of young schoolchildren in the process of physical education.
