The effect of nontraditional sports games on coordination abilities and correction of behavior disorders in prepubertal integrated children

Among factors that positively underlie physical education process, provide stimuli during exercise sessions, increase interest, effectiveness and esthetic character are various nontraditional games as well as nontraditional exercise equipment. Nontraditional sports games have effect on physical fitness and motor performance, promote health, social and moral development of children. We aimed to provide further evidence on nontraditional sports games, their rules, basic methods, forms and means used in teaching school physical education to prepubertal children. These means were used to develop coordination abilities of general population. The statistical significance of changes was determined using paired samples t-test for the following abilities: rhythmical abilities, reaction abilities, balance abilities, kinesthetic-differentiation ability (spatial, strength), frequency ability, coupling ability and reorganization ability. The use of nontraditional movement games was found to have effect on behavior change of children with ADHD. To determine changes in behavior, Vanderbilt rating scale was used. Statistically significant improvements determined by Wilcoxon test was found for the following subscales: following instructions/rules, assignment completion and organizational skills
