V.7.1. Examples to develop the spatial orientation skills
- Repetition of exercises that require a change in body position while moving, such as:
- Target shooting
- Various jumps with turns
- Slalom runs
- Line running with dribbling and throwing a ball
- Obstacle course
- Fleishman run
- Throwing to various distances
Presentation of the Fleishman run
The essence of the Fleishman run is that the test subject must go under the high jump bar as well. This is important because it requires a change in direction and coordination of the whole body according to the height of the bar which is an element of the spatial orientation skill. The change of movement, braking and acceleration are also necessary. On the development curve, two phases can be distinguished. The first phase is the intense phase, which lasts until adolescence. Both genders reach the 90% of their adult level and after puberty the changes are moderate. In the intensive development stage two periods can be distinguished. The first is between the ages of 5-7 years, while the second period is between 10-12 years for girls and 9-10 years for boys. Similarly but occurring somewhat later, we can experience a dual period in terms of strength and speed as well. This coincidence derives from the interaction of the coordination of the whole body, agility and speed as well. From this we can conclude that the whole body coordination is an important precondition of speed.
