The topicality of the problem of research on physical education of students is conditioned by the focus of pedagogical theory
and practice on the development of modern methods, which contribute to the increase of efficiency of education process in general
educational establishments. The effectiveness of introduction of new physical education content depends on the productive methods
developed and realized and many other factors. A study and analysis of psychological, pedagogical and sport literature testifies that the
development of science envisages forward movement, one of prerequisites of which is revision of traditional positions. In physical
education system, this movement means a creative flexible approach to using of all variety of theoretical and methodical provisions
instead of traditional standards and clichés. This should help to achieve the main goal – before completing the school education course
to form in students the ability to manage their vital physical actions in different activities and the need for systematic physical exercises
throughout one’s life. For this, as Ukrainian scientists and educators argue, physical education process should be optimized, first among
primary school students. One of the most progressive line of physic education optimization is rational usage of efficient means and
methods for improvement of schoolchildren’s motion capacities aimed at their health promotion, physical development and physical
fitness betterment.
In the last years, a number of research has been conducted dedicated to some aspects of solving the mentioned problem by
means of track-and-field athletics. In the first place, it is research on physical education basics, optimization of physical education etc. An
analysis of pedagogical sources testifies that as of today some experience of physical education of youth is available. However, the
problem of physical education of primary schoolchildren requires further research under contemporary conditions. An analysis of
specialized literature proves that one of the most important criteria of education optimality is: maximal possibilities in formation of
knowledge, abilities, skills, character features; in increasing of the students’ general education and their conditioning; minimal time spent
by teachers and students to achieve the planned results etc.
