THE EFFECTS OF THE ADDITIONAL WORK PROGRAMME IN GYMNASTICS IN REGULAR PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS ON SOME MOTOR ABILITIES.

Population from which the sample was taken from consists of 64 subjects from elementary school students in Nis, male, ages 10 and 11 ±6 months. From such a defined sample, two subsamples were formed: the first sub-sample of 32 subjects, in addition to the regular physical education of two hours per week, it consists of two additional hours per week with additional classes of gymnastics (experimental group participants); second subsample of 32 respondents, included four times a week, regular physical education (control group). The main objective of the research was to determine the influence of the regular physical education in relation to the classes with additional classes of gymnastics in the transformation processes of some of the dimensions of motor abilities (explosive strength, repetitive strength, and segment speed). To assess these abilities, nine motor tests were applied. Processing of the data obtained from these tests, using multivariate analysis of covariance showed that at the end of the experimental procedure, the final compared to the initial measurement, the experimental group of respondents, compared to the control group, achieve better results in the treated motor abilities.
