Fitness exercises for strength development in fifth grade students

Abstract

The work presented below was carried out at the "21 de October" school with the objective of designing fitness exercises for the development of physical strength capacity in students. In the research process, several methods were used that allowed the collection of data and interpretation of the results, and the elaboration of the alternative, such as: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, analysis of documents. The diagnosis, the observation of Physical Education classes and the physical pedagogical tests, allowed determining that fifth grade students present insufficient development of the physical strength capacity and do not show willingness in the Physical Education class during the teaching of the didactic unit Physical Condition. Therefore, an alternative of fitness exercises for the development of strength is proposed to improve the quality of classes in elementary education.
