Influence of exercise classics on the ability to distribute attention of schoolchildren aged 9-10.

Introduction: The problem of distributing the attention of schoolchildren can be solved by exercises in physical education classes at school.

Objective: To determine the impact of exercise Classics on the ability of schoolchildren to distribute attention at the age of 9-10 years.

Method: The study was conducted over a period of 9 months, in which 40 9-10-year-olds took part. Physical education classes were held 2 times a week for 40 minutes each lesson. The level of development of coordination abilities was evaluated on the «Shuttle run» test, and the indicators of attention distribution on the «Different counting» test. The programs bio-stat 2009, Microsoft excels 2016 and t-student was used for mathematical and statistical processing of results.

Results: Before the beginning of the pedagogical experiment, the indicators of school children between the groups did not have significant differences (P>0.05). After the end of the study, the indicators in both groups improved. In CG, in the «Shuttle run» test, the indicators improved by 2.9% (P>0.05), and in the attention distribution test, they improved from 36.1 ± 2.4 to 32.9 ± 3.4 (P>0.05). In EG, in the «Shuttle run 3x10 m» test, the indicators improved by 14.1% (P<0.05), and in the «Different counting» test, the indicators improved from 9.9 ± 0.5 to 8.5 ± 0.4 (P<0.05). These results indicate the effectiveness of using Classical exercises in physical education lessons in working with younger schoolchildren.

Conclusion: if you perform exercise Classics in physical education classes at school, you will improve not only your coordination abilities, but also the distribution of attention among schoolchildren.
