Intensification Of A Physical Education Lesson By Applying The High-Low Aerobic Programme

For a few decades so far, one of the crucial problems within the schooling system has been the intensification and rationalisation of the Physical Education lessons. To achieve an optimal level of physiological activity and adjust the working methods to the students’ need for moving during the Physical Education lessons is not an easy task at all. Based on the programme and organisation aspect of the Physical Education lesson, as a part of the research there was applied the high-low aerobic programme as an innovative programme of exercising during the Physical Education lessons. The sample consisted of the seventh grade female students (N=30) of the Primary School „Vožd Karađorđe“ in Leskovac, of average 13,3 years of age. The students’ heart beating frequency was checked by palpation on the radial artery at the beginning of the lesson, and, then, at every five seconds. The results of the research show that the high-low aerobic programme, as an innovative methodology-organisational working method, contributes to the intensification of exercising during lessons.
