Over the years, new methodological trends have emerged in physical education and sport with the aim of developing and improving the instructional and educational process. These conscious actions, demonstrating their practical usefulness, have become methodological guidelines, concepts used by the majority of specialists in the field, whether teachers or coaches. They are the result of the evolution of the theory and practice of physical education and sport, but also determined by the development of science and technology in the field of physical education and sport. Algorithmisation is considered by specialists to be a non-heuristic methodological orientation, a last phase of programmed instruction. As a non-heuristic methodological orientation, algorithmisation does not give students the possibility to choose the solution, therefore, in order to contribute to the development of imagination and creativity, it should be closely linked to problematisation. Also, in physical education and sport, unforeseen situations often arise, for which the previously devised algorithms cannot be applied, a situation often encountered in sports games and situational sports. In carrying out the research we aimed at the following objectives: determination of the biomotor potential of 6th grade students through specific tests; development of the subjects motor qualities through different methods; analysis of the final results compared to the initial tests.
