Abstract

Purpose: to determine special gender aspects of 7-8 form pupils’ functional and motor fitness. Material: in the research participated boys: 7^th form (n=24); 8^th form (n=35); girls: 7^th form (n=31); 8^th form (n=14). Results: analysis shows that between 7^th form boys and girls there are statistically confident differences in functional tests (p<0.001). By functional state of respiration and blood circulation functions 7^th form boys and girls were assessed as healthy but not trained; by Serkin’s test they had latent circulatory inefficiency. Statistically confident differences between 8^th form boys were registered in tests 3-8, which characterized power, speed-power and coordination fitness (р<0.001). By results of other motor tests differences between mean values were statistically unconfident (p>0.05). Conclusions: gender aspects of seven form pupils’ motor fitness are power abilities and ability to assess power parameters of movements; in eighth form they were ability to perceive motor power parameters and static strength.

Key words: boys, girls, functional fitness, coordination fitness, power fitness, motor abilities.
