Elements of sexual dimorphism in the level of development of indicators of coordination abilities of primary school children aged 7-10 years

Relevance. According to many experts, the title component of personal physical culture of primary school children is the actual biological component, the purpose of which is to increase the level of development of basic physical qualities, including the coordination abilities of children. This article presents a fragment of research on the problem of theformation of coordination abilities of children aged 7-10 years, in terms of determining the presence of elements of sexual dimorphism in their level of development. The aim of the study is to identify the presence of elements of sexual dimorphism in the level of development of generalized integral and total indicators of coordination abilities of primary school children. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical testing; polydinamometry; methods of mathematical statistics. The value of integral indicators of children's ability to differentiate, reproduce, and measure the accuracy of movement parameters was calculated based on the translation of test results into point scores and their summation. The value of generalized indicators of individual manifestations of coordination abilities, differentiation, reproduction and accuracy of measuring movement parameters was calculated on the basis of summing up the point estimates of the parameters of integral indicators. The value of the total indicators of coordination abilities of younger schoolchildren was calculated on the basis of summing up the scores of generalized indicators. Results. The obtained data allow us to state the presence of a significant number of elements of sexual dimorphism in the level of development of the abilities of children aged 7-10 years to differentiate, reproduce and accurately measure the parameters of movement. The results of their testing, in terms of the presence of elements of sexual dimorphism, allow us to objectify the process of developing documents for long-term and current planning of specialized pedagogical influences. Conclusion. In the course of the conducted studies, it was found that the primary school age is characterized by the presence of elements of sexual dimorphism in terms of the level of formation of coordination abilities of children aged 7-10 years in the entire range from 7 to 10 years. At the same time, the number of elements of sexual dimorphism increases with the increase in the length of education of children in the lower grades of general education institutions.
