Abstract

Background and Aim: In 2019, the data indicates that the time primary school students dedicate to outdoor sports falls short of the one-hour-per-day guideline mandated by the state and also reveals discrepancies based on gender and region. This study was to study the effect of different training in methods track and field on Physical Fitness in Primary School students and to the comparisons of different training in methods track and field on Physical Fitness in Primary School students.

Materials and Methods: This study is an experimental study. The subjects of this study were 60 fifth-grade students at Hui Min Primary School in Guangzhou City, China. This experimental study was conducted with 60 subjects (3 groups, 20 students in each group) by using the motor game training method, interval training method, and cycle training method. The duration of this training program was 8 weeks, and tests were conducted pre-test, after the 4th week, and post-test. The data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, one-way ANOVA repeated measurement, and post hoc pairwise with Bonferroni. The significant level was .05

Result: The results showed that the mean and standard deviation of the pre-test, after week 4 and post-test, respectively, were: (1) The mean comparison of physical fitness between game sports, interval training, and circuit training showed that all fitness was not significantly different. (2) The mean pairwise differences within the group, game sport, interval training, and circuit training between pre-test after week 4, pre-test with post-test, and after week 4 with post-test were significant.

Conclusion: All the different training methods in track and field, game sport, interval training, and circuit training can improve physical fitness for primary school students.
