Development features of moving abilities of 8–11 grade school students

The problems of modernization of Russian education pose new requirements for the physical education organization in secondary schools, and are aimed at finding new approaches, concepts, and technologies for the physical education of the young generation. The real volume of motor activity of middle and high school students does not provide full and harmonious physical development and strengthening the health of the growing generation. In this regard, a major problem of today is the low level of physical preparation of secondary schools students. A significant decrease in moving activity explains the low level of physical qualities manifestation, including the strength capabilities of school students and flexibility. A mandatory and integral component of physical education lessons at school is the measurement of the level of physical fitness of school students. To this end, testing is conducted that determines the dynamics of the physical fitness of students and the process of physical education effectiveness in general. The theme of the revival of the All-Russian physical education and sports Ready for Labour and Defence complex is also relevant among school students, as it includes the normative basis for physical education, and is considered as an aspect of determining the level of physical fitness of school students. We present the results of exercises on flexibility and strength performed by 8–11 grade school students. We reveal relevant issues of accordance of physical fitness level of school students with the regulatory requirements of the All-Russian physical education and sports complex “Ready for Labour and Defence”.
