Procedures for evaluating the physical condition of the secondary education students in Angola/Procedimientos para evaluar la condición física a los alumnos de enseñanza secundaria en Angola

Abstract

The starting point of the research was the problematic situation, generated by the norms used to evaluate the physical condition in Angola, which do not adjust to the real conditions of this country, from which it is derived to design procedures for the evaluation of the physical condition of secondary school students in Angola. For this purpose, both the individual particularities of those evaluated and the environmental ones were taken into account, using different research methods and techniques that allowed the proposal to be theoretically and methodologically based. In particular, everything related to the determination of the evaluation patterns, using the procedure proposed by Zatsiorski, which allowed establishing the different classification groups. In addition, a spreadsheet program was created in Microsoft Excel that automatically evaluates the tests. This made it possible to speed up the grading process and achieve more reliable results of the students' actual level of physical condition. It was concluded with the demonstration of the feasibility of the proposed procedures to evaluate physical condition, since the standards, when they leave their original context, cease to be relevant, representative and modern. Likewise, it is recommended to address other aspects such as the enlargement of the sample and the individualization of the evaluation process.
