The children and their parents were informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. The following research methods were used to achieve the objective set: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, and methods of mathematical statistics for processing research results.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p><strong>Results.</strong> There were the biggest changes in the results of the tests “Lying pull-ups” by 51.1% (p < 0.05), “Push-ups” by 34.1% (p <0.05), and “Bent arm hang” by 26.5% (p < 0.05). Somewhat smaller changes were observed in the tests “Right hand grip test” by 10.8% (p < 0.05), “Left hand grip test” by 10.5% (p <0.05), and “Sit-ups in 1 min” by 13.3% (p < 0.05). The lowest increase in the results was observed in the test “Triple jump on the right and left leg” by 6.6% (p < 0.05).</p> <p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> The level of the girls’ strength fitness at the initial stage of the pedagogical experiment conforms to age norms. Most of them are at the average – 40% and above average – 23.6% levels. The remainder of indicators was distributed between the high – 13.6%, below average – 14.3%, and low – 8.6% levels. A comprehensive control of the 10-year-old girls’ strength fitness after the formative experiment showed statistically significant changes in almost all indicators in the experimental group, which used play techniques with elements of martial arts in the following load mode: 5 games, 2 repetitions with rest intervals of 40 s (p < 0.001).</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Learning Theory and Methodology}, author={Marchenko Світлана and Handymov Бердімират}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={68–74} }
