Abstract


The aim of this study was to determine and to compare the effects of different exercise programs on motor abilities in primary school children. A total of 60 (30 boys and 30 girls) primary school children, aged 12 years ± 6 months voluntarily participated in this study. Motor abilities were assessed by the following variables: the squat jump, long jump, bent-arm hang, sit-ups, push-ups, sprint 30m, T-test, handgrip, and medicine ball throw tests. All groups had regular physical education classes twice a week and one hour of additional physical activity, with the experimental groups exercising with a medicine ball (E1) following a developmental gymnastics program (E2) during the 12 weeks. The ANCOVA showed statistically significant differences between the groups (p<0.05) in most motor abilities tests in favor of both experimental groups, with slightly better results in favor of the E1 group compared to E2. The results of this research show that exercise with a medicine ball and developmental gymnastics can lead to significant improvements in motor abilities among primary school children.
