The completed research is likely to show insufficiency of physical activity in Lithuanian schools; for this reason, the number of schoolchildren distributed into special medical groups is increasing. It is not always enough to have some PE lessons to make pupils fit. Some PE lessons does not offer the solution to the problems of decreasing physical activity, poor physical health and ever – increasing sickness rate. However, the problems can be solved and the positive attitude developed by individual exercising. Due to a tendency for physical activity among the youth to decrease we raised a scientific problem which can by solved by adopting positive attitude to physical training and supplying the need for a healthy and physically active way of life. Hypothesis – The use of Olympic training programme to adopt the positive attitude towards physical training and factors which influence its development. Research aim – to examine the impact of the Olympic program on the 7-9 form pupils’ attitude towards physical self-training. Research tasks: 1. To research the attitude to physical activity, physical self-training and explain the reasons which stimulate or hinder a child’s individual exercising. 2. To evaluate the impact of the Olympic training programme on the development of the pupils’ attitude to physical self-training and factors which determine its development. 3. To examine the differences of attitude to physical self-training among different age groups. 445 7-9 form... [to full text]

The object of research – the physical might of the ninth formers. The aim of research – to determine the influence of physical self–training stimulation to the change of the ninth formers physical might. Following problems are brought up: 1. To determine and evaluate the physical might of the ninth formers. 2. To find out the weakest physical aspects, to prepare the training and physical self-training programme. 3. To determine the influence of the programme on the students physical might. Hypothesis: knowledge of physical education and healthy living, learning to observe and evaluate your own physical might, physical activity, corresponding with requirements, gives the advantages to the change of physical might of the ninth formers. Methods of research: 1. The analysis of literature resources. 2. Physical features testing. 3. Pedagogical experiment. 4. Mathematical statistics. Measurements (height, weight) are carried out according to standarts, the index of the mass is also calculated. Eurofit tests are applied to studying physical might. 20 experimental and 23 controlling group’s female students took part in the experiment. Those groups were formed by chance. Both groups had 2 weekly physical education lessons carried out according to Lithuania physical education general programmes. Physical-consciousness as well as self-training have been trained during physical education lessons. The programme hasn’t been modified to the controlling group students. The experiment has...
