INFLUENCE OF BASKETBALL TRAINING ON MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND MOTOR ABILITIES OF YOUNGER GRADES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper was to analyze the impact of basketball training on the morphological characteristics and motor skills of younger elementary school students. During the study of the subject of this paper, research of scientific-theoretical knowledge, relevant literature, and modern practice was performed using methods: data collection technique (examination method, method of analysis of primary and secondary scientific material, and complex observation method), basic methods of scientific knowledge and scientific research. (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, specification, and generalization) and general methods (comparative and hypothetical-deductive). It was concluded that there are statistically significant differences between students who train basketball in morphological characteristics: longitudinal dimensionality of the body (body height, arm span, sitting height, arm length, hand length, leg length), transverse body dimensionality (shoulder width, pelvic width, fist width)) and body volume and weight (chest circumference); and motor skills: speed, agility, endurance, coordination, and explosiveness; in relation to students who do not train basketball. In accordance with the above, it is concluded that basketball training has a positive impact on the growth and development of younger school children, resulting in the need to motivate students to participate in these activities and introduce elements of basketball to a greater extent in physical education in primary school.
