Effect of a sports initiation school program in conditional physical capabilities

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a sports initiation school program in conditional physical capabilities in children 8 and 9 years of a primary school in Ciudad Obregón. We worked with 20 students who were divided into two groups of 10 students, a control group and an experimental group. A program of sports initiation which was only applied to the experimental group over a period of three months with a frequency of four days a week with duration of 60 minutes per session having an initial evaluation and final, while the control group was made It did not make any formal or directed physical activity. Experimental group significant differences in the ability of speed and strength with p = 0.008 and p = 0.001 respectively were found in the capacity of resistance and flexibility but there was no statistically significant improvements, while the control group showed no improvement. These data can be used for future research related to the subject, which can be enriched through comparisons and / or differences with other authors.
