Complex development of physical characteristics of 11–12-year-old boys using basketball elements for physical education

Abstract

Up to date, the system of physical education, physical culture and sports in Ukraine is in a crisis condition and can not meet the needs of the population. This situation necessitates changes in program approaches and the definition of priority areas of physical education of the population. This article is aimed at an analysis of the developed modernized methodology for organizing physical education lessons for 11-12 year old boys when using basketball to improve the level of physical fitness. Based on the fact that 49 boys of the main medical group of 11-12 years, were divided into experimental (n = 25) and control (n = 24) groups, participated in the experiment. The tests were selected in such a way to analyze and test the level of development of all physical characteristics, particularly coordination. This is due to the fact that basketball is a coordinating sport. The selected tests to detect the dynamics of the developed modernized methodology were informative and gave a positive growth in both groups (p <0.05). But the best result was shown by the experimental group, due to the fact that during the construction of the methodology, we took into account not only sensitivist development, but also those aspects that would motivate the students before classes. The obtained results testify to the effectiveness of our upgraded methodology that was used during the school year as a new tool for the formation and disclosure of the sports potential of future basketball players.
