Influence of different physical education curricula on the fifth-grade pupils’ motor abilities

The research was conducted on the sample of 300 fi fth-grade primary school pupils from the County of Međimurje in the school year 2006./2007. The sample of pupils was divided into three groups: experimental groups A (N= 100) and T3 (N=100) and a control group T (N=100). All three groups attended the physical education classes regularly but with different programmes and different number of PE classes. The classes conducted in experimental groups were intensifi ed with the teaching contents from athletics. After a year period, the pupils were measured with 17 motor tests and 1 functional ability test. The obtained results indicate that there are statistically signifi cant differences between the experimental groups, as the groups that achieved better results as related to the control group, whereas there the experimental groups were also statistically signifi cantly different from each other.
