Article
The purpose of the research is to study the combination of motor abilities with high and low growth rates in different periods of natural age development.
Organization of the research. The study involved 262 schoolchildren from grades 3–11 in eight age groups; testing was conducted at the beginning of school and at the end of the school year.
Research results and their discussion. The article notes that the identification of sensitive periods of a particular ability or functional system does not provide a clear idea of the individual characteristics of age development. The data presented in the article show a certain conjugation of the development of motor abilities in the process of growing up. As a result, a certain combination of motor abilities provides information on the possibility of predicting the technology in the physical development system.
Conclusion. The identified combination of abilities with high and low growth rates in different age periods allows us to predict the technology of their physical development and, accordingly, individualize this process. As a result, the study of only age-related changes is of limited importance and should be supplemented by a substantive analysis that most adequately reflects the patterns of development of children and adolescents. In this case, they often turn to unification and standardization of the object of study and to a lesser extent to the study of its individuality. At the same time, age and individual characteristics should not be identified.
