Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate motor performance and promoting physical activity of 9-year-old students in physical education classroom of dynamic and traditional schools. The statistical population of reaserch were all the students in zahedan county that 65 of them, from dynamic schools (31 people) and traditional schools (34 people) were selected randomly. First, all participants were given the Canadian Agility and Movement Skills Assessment (CAMSA) test and pacer test, then their level of physical activity was measured and recorded with a pedometer. Then the group of dynamic schools participated in a 24- session intervention periodin PE lesson activities the control group participated traditionally in PE lessons. Finally, at the end of the intervention, the second-time- performed tests were given to both groups. “The Mann-Whitney U test“ and “covariance analysis” were used to for data analyze. Results indicated that PE classroom of dynamic schools has lead to an increase in the daily physical activity level 0f students compared to traditional schools, but no significant difference was observed on movement skills and aerobic endurance. The results support the hypothesis that the use of this approach can be effective in facilitating the improvement of the level of physical activity among children.
