Abstract

The curriculum for Physical Education and Sports contains certain standards regarding the development of motor skills. This paper serves to present the results of an experimental study, conducted in a rural school, which focused on increasing aerobic endurance. The aim of the study lies in demonstrating that the athletic methods that were employed are efficient and productive regardless of the environment (urban or rural). At its core, the study means to show that by using methodical models based on running, with elements of volume, intensity and recuperation intervals, a leap in performance may be achieved, regarding the capacity for aerobic effort. Additionally, by performing the experiment, we may find which of the two methods currently used the in school is more effective. Surprisingly, the measurements have shown that although the interval method is preferred by the students, better results were obtained by using continuous running. This aspect was further emphasized by the marked increase in thoracic elasticity.
