Theoretical Assumption And Practical Implications Of Teaching, Diagnosis And Evaluation At School Lessons Of Selected Elements Of The Structure Of Health Related Fitness (H-RF)

Abstract

Aim. The aim of the study is to present the results of the conducted pedagogical experiment assessing the adaptation process to continue physical effort for a long time without signs of fatigue by boys aged 10 years. In addition, the author’s original method for evaluating Health-Related Fitness components was presented. Main findings. The pedagogical experiment was carried out during physical education classes with an experimental group comprising boys, using a continuous run for 40 lesson units as a warm-up in the form of running games and a control group performing standard tasks introducing the exercises. In the children from the control group, during the first and last classes of the experiment, during the run, the SPORT TESTER measured cardiovascular response. Experiment effectiveness was assessed based on the results of the analysis of heart rate stabilisation and the results of the 1,000-m run. It was proposed to evaluate the value of the 1-000-m run results compared to other Health-Related Fitness components, using the uni year scoring scale created by the author. Results. During the final stage of the experiment, the process of stabilising exercise heart rate was found in boys from the experimental group, indicating muscle metabolism processes at the oxygen threshold level typical for jogging. All participants of the experiment completed the Punctual train 1,000-m race with a better result than before the experiment. Conclusions. 1. The conducted experiment allowed to achieve positive results in the scope of improving economy of continuous running. Ten-year-old children in the second exam, without signs of greater fatigue, covered a distance of 1,000 m. 2. The proposed fun and game forms can be successfully used to teach continuous runs and serve as a standard and objective tool for assessing endurance. 3. The uni year scoring scale can help students in self-assessment of Health-Related Fitness.
