Abstrakt: The purpose of study is to reveal the influence of physical activity on the development of physical and mental capacity of elementary schoolchildren. Data for the study: experimental work was carried out at the Secondary General Elementary School No. 23 in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. In total, 80 first- to third-graders aged 6-9 were under supervision. At the beginning of the experiment, children did not differ in terms of physical and mental capacity. To pursue the research objectives, the following research methods and procedures were used: study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the research problem; questionnaires, surveys, interviews, conversations with elementary school teachers and parents; pedagogical observations of the educational and play activities of elementary schoolchildren; correction tasks for determining mental capacity; PWC-170 test for determining physical capacity; pedagogical experiment; expert opinion on the performance quality of play exercises; mathematical statistics methods. Findings: age and individual peculiarities of physical and mental capacity development in elementary schoolchildren have been determined, the causes that degrade the medical condition and capacity of elementary schoolchildren have been established, and effective means and methods of development of physical and mental capacity of the cohort of interest have been identified. Play exercises have been proposed that allow to increase physical and mental capacity of schoolchildren under elementary school conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
