THE CONTRIBUTION OF AEROBIC GYMNASTICS MEANS TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF MOTOR DEVELOPMENT INDICES

Abstract

This study’s aim was to highlight the improvement of the motor development indices through the use of aerobic gymnastics means. The research methods used were: the study of the specialized literature, the testing method, the experiment method, the statistical-mathematical method, and the graphical method. The research comprised a number of 40 subjects (20 female adolescents forming the experimental group, and 20 the control group), aged between 18 and 25, and it was conducted at the "Vasile Alecsandri" University of Bacău. The subjects went through a fitness-type aerobic gymnastics program, three times per week. The programs comprised exercises for physical development, relaxation, coordination, and not in the least, for improving the motor development indices. The superior results recorded during the final tests prove the effectiveness of the aerobic gymnastics means used in this study that had an effect on the development level of the motor development indices.
