OPTIMIZATION THE MOTOR CAPACITY OF STUDENTS FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL BY INTRODUCING INTERACTIVE GAMES
Abstract
In Romania, the physical education lesson goes through a stage of reforming in line with student requirements, adapting exercises to video and computer games. Thus, for six months, 40 students (aged 8-10 years) participated twice a week in work programs that had interactive games in their structure. Subjects were tested before and after the application of work schedules, following their progress in some components of motor capacity. The tests performed referred to the coordination, balance and speed. The statistical analysis of the data was made by SPSS, v.21, with descriptive statistics and Paired T test. At the end of the study, there were significant differences between pre and post-test environments (p <0.05). It was also noticed a better involvement of the students in the physical education class, being attracted by the applied working means. It identifies, therefore, the need to modernize the traditional means of working in the physical education lesson and to always be alongside modern technology.
