Development of coordination abilities in children of 8-9 years old through exercises with the elements of Kobudo
The article deals with the problem of the development of coordination abilities during the physical culture lessons through physical exercises with Kobuto elements. This study is based on the assumption that coordination among the children aged 8-9 years will increase if, when performing a set of exercises, pay attention to the movement of the gymnastic stick, fixing the initial and final position, setting the arms and legs. All this helps to ensure the accuracy of the execution of movements with different amplitudes, where there is a selective effect on certain muscle groups. These results of the pedagogical experiment confirm that the complexes of exercises with Kobuto elements make increased demands on the coordination, ordering of movements, their organization into a single whole, and contribute to the development of coordination in children of primary school age.
