Description
Summary:Innovative methods for developing students’ physical strength and endurance skills. A pedagogical experiment with 66 students (women) from first and second course from all specialties in the Faculties of Economics, Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine at Trakia University, Stara Zagora, randomly divided into an experimental group (36 students) and a control group (30 students), was carried out. The aim of the study was to establish the impact of innovative methods for developing students’ physical strength and endurance skills. Theoretical analysis, pedagogical experiment, spatio-pedagogical testing, pedagogical observation, variation analysis, graphical analysis and comparative analysis were applied to solve the research goal. A test battery comprising of 20 morpho-functional indicators and 13 indicators for physical strength and endurance was developed. The results and analysis showed that the experiment was successful and the developed fitness program with expanders was effective. The data obtained is indicative that the inclusion of the developed fitness program with expanders in the curriculum of Physical Education and Sports in the university will lead to an improvement in the physical skills strength and endurance, of the students.
