Contributions to physical development through specific aerobic gymnastics means

Abstract

The aim of the study was to highlight the contribution of aerobic gymnastics to the harmonious physical development of students. This experiment is part of a wider experiment where we started from the hypothesis that the use of aerobic gymnastics in physical education lessons, which involves different movements of body segments in varied combinations with specific base steps, all carried out in a program involving a predominantly aerobic effort, will bring much more rapid and visible changes to the physical development of the students. The experiment was carried out on a group of 32 female students from the second year of study at the Faculty of Economics and Public Administration, at Ştefan cel Mare University of Suceava. Experimental group against which the independent variable was applied was made up of 16 students, and the control group prepared by traditional means was also made up of 16 students from the same specialty in another study group. At the end of the experiment, the results highlighted the fact that there are significant differences (by calculating t test) between the initial and thefinal results at all the morphological parameters measurements in the case of the experimental group.
