Development of speed manifestation forms during physical education classes at university

Abstract

Aim. The aim of our research was to elaborate and assess the method for the development of speed as a motor skill applied in the experimental study with the mention that all the methods can be reunited in the form of the repetition method with four related procedures. Materials and methods. The experimental study took place during the academic year 2016/2017 and was carried out in groups of students-volunteers from faculties within Lower Danube University of Galaţi. The study implied 56 hours for the development and assessment of speed as a motor skill. Results. The tests used allowed us to assess all the important forms of speed manifestation and their combinations with other motor skills. The obtained results and statistical calculations demonstrated viability and effectiveness of our experimental curriculum. The correlative analysis highlighted the connections that exist between the different forms of speed manifestation, but also the differences that occur depending on sex and other characteristics of each analyzed group. Conclusion. The results obtained allow us to assess objectively the level of speed manifestation in students, but they are also a wake-up call regarding students' deficiency in physical training and anaerobic effort capacity, specific to the intense actions that characterize the development and manifestation of this skill, which is extremely difficult to improve.
