Classification of Motor Fitness of 7-9 Years Old Boys

Abstract

IntroductionOne of problems of school physical education is optimizing of children's and adolescents' motor functioning for improvement of their health and workability (Baltsevych V.K., 2000; Krutsevych T.Yu., Bezverkhnya G.V., 2010; Vink K. et al., 2015; Yermakova T.S., 2015). The problem of motor functioning and health strengthening is important both for Ukraine and for European countries (Cieslicka M., Napierala M., 2009; Iermakov S.S. et al., 2011; Cieslicka Miroslawa, Slowinski Mariusz, 2012; Paczuski R., Cieslicka M., 2013; Coskun Ali, Sahin Gulsah, 2014; Iermakova T.S., 2014; Piccinno Andrea, Colella Dario, 2014; Harris J., 2014).One of conditions of increase of schoolchildren's motor fitness is organization of pedagogic control both at physical culture lessons (Karpunec T.V., 2001; Lynch T., 2013; Khudolii O.M., Ivashchenko O.V., 2014; Pedersen S., 2014; Ivashchenko O.V. et al., 2015), and in conditions of sport trainings (Dmitruk K. et al., 2008; Iermakov S.S. et al., 2010; Khudolii O.M., Iermakov S.S., 2011; Khudolii O.M., Ivashchenko O.V., 2013; Logan S.W. et al., 2014). Pedagogic control implies classification of current state of motor and functional fitness, which influence on taking decisions in managing of children's and adolescents' physical education.In recent publications it was noted that simulation is effective method of receiving of new information about possibility to carry out current and finalizing control on the base of testing of children's and adolescents' motor fitness (Ivashchenko O.V., 2001; Sheppard J.M., Young W.B., 2006; Adashevskiy V.M. et al., 2013; Khudolii O.M., Ivashchenko O.V., 2014). Discriminant analysis is one of statistic simulation's methods.Effectiveness of its application in classification of children's and adolescents' functional and motor fitness is proved in scientific literature (Geoffrey D. Broadhead, Gabie E. Church, 1982; Milic M. et al., 2011; Gert-Jan de Bruijn, Benjamin Gardner, 2011; Dorita du Toit et al., 2011; Gulbin J.P. et al., 2013; Khudolii O.M., Ivashchenko O.V., 2014; Ivashchenko O.V. et al., 2015).So, classification of motor fitness is practically significant for taking decisions in physical education as well as for working out of effective physical training programs for children and adolescents.Material and methodsThe purpose of the research: determination of classification model of 7-9 years old boys' motor fitness. The methods of the research: we used the following methods of research: analysis of scientific literature data, pedagogic testing, method of mathematical statistics. As method of simulation we used discriminant analysis.In planning of the research we used conceptual approaches to working out of scientific research programs in physical education and sports (Ashmarin B.A., 1978; Krutsevych T.Yu., 1985; Filin V.P., Rovnij A.S., 1992; Ruslanov D.V. et al., 2011; Zaytsev V.P. et al., 2011; Khudolii O.M., Ivashchenko O.V., 2014). Testing program included commonly known tests (Liakh V.I., 2000; Sergiienko L.P., 2001; Cale L., Harris J., 2009; Khudolii O.M., Iermakov S.S., 2011; Harris J., Leggett G., 2013; Khudolii O.M., Ivashchenko O.V., 2014).For assessment of 7-9 yrs. age boys' motor fitness re registered results of the following tests:No1 Static posture on one foot (s),No2 Walking on segments of hexagon (steps),No3 30 meters' run (s),No4 Long jump from the spot (cm),No5 300 m run (min),No6 Chin ups on rope in mixed hanging (times),No7 Shuttle run 4x9m (s),No8 Rising in sitting position per 1 minute (times),No9 Forward torso bending in sitting position (cm),No10 Distance between hands and heels (cm) (in bridge),No11 Body height (cm),No12 Index assessment (in bridge),No13 Bridge with straight legs (points), side circles with stick,No14 Width of hold (cm),No15 Distance from acromion to acromion (cm),No16 Index assessment of mobility in shoulders,No17 Side circles with stick (points),No18 Frequency of arms' movements (times),No19 Exercise for combining of arms', torso, legs' movements (points),No20 Walking along straight line after 5 rotations (cm),No21 Catching of falling stick of Dietrich (cm). …
