A comparison between small games and large games and their impact on some physical variables and motor intelligence among fourth preparatory students

Abstract

The research is summarized in the designTwo programs include:ASmall games and big games as well as knowing the effectThey areOn some physical variables and the measure of motor intelligence,andThe researcher used the experimental method as a study approach, where the research community represented fourth-grade middle school students aged (15-16) years in Al-Yarmouk Intermediate School for Boys in the center of Nineveh Governorate for the academic year (2023-2024), as their number reached (192) students, and the researcher adopted the academic stage as a research community, distributed into (4) study groups, and to determine the two experimental research groups, the researcher conducted a draw (randomly) between the study groups to be Section (C) the first experimental group, which will study according to the small games program, while the second experimental group was Section (D), which will study according to the big games program,After exclusion, the research sample became composed of (60) students, with (30) studentsFor each groupThe researcher conducted equivalence between the two research groups in (physical tests, motor intelligence), and the researcher also conducted the pre-test inThe tests themselvesThen, the post-tests were conducted on the physical variables and motor intelligence on the research sample, and the results showed a significant effect between the pre- and post-tests among the individuals of the first experimental group, which studied according to the small games program in (physical abilities and motor intelligence).andThe researcher recommended the necessity of applying the small games group in the physical education lesson in middle schools.
