Age dynamics of development of coordination abilities of primary school students

Abstract

The article analyzes the indicators of the development of coordination abilities of pupils in grades 2-3, which, on average, correspond to the "average" level. The comparison of data in the age and gender aspect shows, mainly, a significant increase in indicators with age and the dominance of boys' results over girls' data. The analysis of secondary indicators indicates a significant increase in the results at the end of the year, which resulted in the overall level of development of coordination abilities increased to "below average".
 Most of the data obtained during the experiment show a significant increase in the level of coordination abilities (P<0.05) in boys and girls of 2nd and 3rd grades. But we see that in some coordination exercises indicators are lower than average level of norms, so we can conclude that little attention is paid to development of these qualities. This suggests that in the process of education little attention is paid to the development of these qualities.
 It is necessary to develop more differentiated methods of physical education of primary school children to improve some of the results of tests of coordination abilities. Children with low scores should be offered to attend some sections with a physical inclination and be guided to improve their personal performance.
