Abstract

Background: Children with low levels of physical activity during school years are a very relevant and difficult problem to address, since sedentary behaviors have a high prevalence from early childhood. Objectives: To analyze the effects of a 32-week ball exercise program on general physical condition in Russian primary school students. Methods. Quasi-experimental, non-randomized study. The sample was made up of 60 schoolchildren aged 9 to 10 years belonging to school number 52 in the city of Kirov (Russia). The schoolchildren were divided into a control group (n=30) and an experimental group (n=30); Both groups performed physical education lessons according to the school curriculum, however, the experimental group also performed series of physical exercises with basketballs for the development of physical qualities. The following control tests were used in the experimental study; Sit and reach, long jump, pull-up, abdominal curl and shuttle running. Results: Both groups improved physical condition indicators. However, only the experimental group showed significant changes in the Sit and reach tests (71%; p<0.05), pull-up (87.5%; p<0.05), and abdominal curl tests (29%; p <0.05), shuttle running and long jump (10%; p<0.05). Conclusion: A ball exercise program can significantly improve overall physical fitness. However, future research should consider possible interference processes related to the simultaneous development of multiple physical qualities.
