Observational Study Regarding Aspects of the Physical and Motor Development in 14-18 Year Old Students

Abstract

The physical education activity has as main objective to develop the formative side of the students, while the education process, as a whole, aims to balance the relation between the formative and the informative. The efforts are directed toward the development of the adaptation ability to the permanent modifications in the young
high-schooler's life. This research aimed to study the physical and motor development of high-school students, its main objective being to observe the way in which various somatic and motor parameters evolve over the course of the four years of study. This research started from the hypothesis stating that highlighting certain particularities of the motor and somatic development of high-school students could constitute an important indicator for the physical education teachers in designing their teaching activity for this education level. The research methods used in this scientific endeavor were: the observation method; the testing method; the
statistical-mathematical method of recording and interpreting the data.
