FORMATION OF PHYSICAL QUALITIES OF SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE PROCESS OF EXTRA-CURRICULAR SPORTS ACTIVITIES

Abstract

Modern conditions of development of society necessitate increased attention to physical education of the younger generation. One of the important directions of formation of healthy, physically developed personality is development of basic physical qualities of schoolchildren. Extracurricular sports activity plays a significant role in this process, which creates favorable conditions for increasing the level of motor activity of children, forming their interest in physical culture and sports, and also promotes harmonious physical development.

Extracurricular and extracurricular forms of physical culture classes make it possible to diversify the educational and training process, expand the range of physical exercises and sports games used in work with students. It is in the conditions of extracurricular activities that schoolchildren have the opportunity to more actively develop such physical qualities as strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and agility, which are the basis of physical fitness of a person.

The purpose of the work is to theoretically substantiate the importance of extracurricular sports activity in the formation of physical qualities of schoolchildren and to determine its role in the system of physical education.

Research methodology. The study used theoretical methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, generalization of pedagogical experience, systematization of scientific data on the development of physical qualities of schoolchildren in the process of extracurricular activities.

The scientific novelty lies in determining the role of extracurricular sports activities as an effective means of forming the physical qualities of schoolchildren and in highlighting its pedagogical potential in the system of modern physical education.
