Abstract

This article examines the development of coordination abilities in middle school students through Stick Fit fitness during physical education lessons. The effectiveness of this method in improving physical fitness and developing key coordination qualities such as balance, agility, flexibility, and movement accuracy is analyzed. The methods of integrating Stick Fit into the educational process are explored. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the features of developing coordination abilities in students through Stic kFit fitness.

Methodology. The research used methods such as the analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, as well as testing. The scientific novelty of the work is that it is the first time the use of the Stick Fit fitness methodology as a tool for developing coordination abilities in middle school students during physical education lessons has been studied. It was found that the integration of this methodology into the educational process not only improves physical fitness but also contributes to the development of coordination abilities such as balance, agility, and movement accuracy, which are important aspects of forming students' physical culture.

Conclusions. The implementation of the Stick Fit methodology in physical education lessons is an effective means for developing students' coordination abilities, improving their motor skills and psychomotor skills. The inclusion of music and rhythmic exercises not only stimulates emotional and motivational engagement but also helps create a more exciting and dynamic atmosphere in the lessons. This contributes to enhancing students' concentration, focus, and overall motor activity, which positively affects their general development and health. The results of the testing confirm that the Stic kFit fitness program has a significant positive effect on the development of students' coordination abilities. Statistically significant improvements in balance, spatial-temporal accuracy of movements, and the ability to stabilize body posture indicate the effectiveness of the Stic kFit program in developing coordination abilities. Changes in the amplitude of the center of mass oscillations and the time spent maintaining a stable position reflect an increase in motor stability and overall coordination.
