Study on Improving the Specific Content of Teaching Physical Education Classes through Movement Games in Primary School

The target of this research is represented by the optimization of the teaching techniques used to improve the specific objectives of Physical Education activities in school. These techniques are applied to pupils in the second grade by using movement games. We consider that the use of the movement games during Physical Education classes may contribute to improving the instructive and educational process and to achieving specific objectives.By comparing the results of the experimental and the control group for the initial tests, we found that there were no significant differences between the averages obtained by the boy groups. The differences were significant (p<0,05) at the final test, however, for long distance running, trunk extension from a prone position, the complex of physical development, rope skipping, and at p<0,01 for trunk lifting from a supine position and for tractions on the gymnastics bench. We also found some progress for the girl groups and there were also differences in the final tests between the experimental and control groups in the case of girls.Finally, the progress achieved by the experimental group showed us that our method, using movement games for achieving the objectives of our classes, was efficient.
