Study on the Efficiency of Some Formative Athletics Programs on Motor Quality Improvement in the Case of Children Aged 6-9

We are witnessing a decreasing trend in the average age of Olympic and world champions; this creates the need for developing a formative programme in athletics targeting children before the age of puberty, in the 6-9 years age range, based on the usage of applicative tracts and relay races adapted to the particularities of that age.The study has been developed along 5 years starting with an initial test at the beginning of the school year continuing with an intermediary testing after 5 years of applying the athletic programme and it will finish when the school year ends with a final examination; the children took part in 2 classes per week, the classes lasting 90 minutes.As a result of these tests an improvement of speed has been noticed which has also been proved statistically.
