Abstract
Purpose: to determine the influence of coordination abilities on the development of speed-power qualities in 7-8 years old schoolchildren with a different type of nervous system.
Material: the pedagogical experiment was conducted in a regular school and lasted 7 months. The study involved children 7-8 years old (n = 60). All schoolchildren were differentiated into 3 groups (in each group - n = 20). Coordination abilities were determined by the test "3x10 shuttle run". Speed- power qualities were determined by the test "Standing Long Jump". The strength of the nervous system was diagnosed according to the "Tapping test" method.
Results: it was determined that it is necessary to develop the coordination abilities of 7-8 years old schoolchildren. It
was determined the interrelation of coordination abilities and speed-power qualities. It was confirmed the effectiveness of a differentiated approach based on the typology of children. The results were realized at physical education lessons at school.
Conclusions: it is recommended to develop coordination abilities during 12-15 minutes in physical education classes for schoolchildren. Such training will be more effective if consider the typology of the nervous system of schoolchildren.
Keywords: speed-power qualities, differentiated approach, coordination of motion, schoolchildren, typology.
Introduction
Coordination abilities were classified about 70 years ago [1]. The level of their development affects the accuracy of different motor actions. The value of coordination in a person's life is huge. Such abilities allow you to solve unexpected motor problems accurately and quickly [2, 3]. The most common are general coordination abilities. They are the foundation for the development of special and specific abilities. A sensitive period for the development of coordination abilities is the primary school age [4].
The several studies devoted to interrelations of coordination abilities and physical qualities [5, 6]. Among the physical qualities should be noted speedpower qualities. Such qualities express in motor actions, which require significant muscle strength and quickness of motor actions [7].
The teachers often apply a differentiated approach to work with children. Such approach allows to reveal the internal reserves of the schoolchildren body, to reveal their physical and mental potential [8, 9]. Despite differences in children, they can be grouped by criteria. For example, by age, gender, height, technical training [10. 11]. One of these criteria is typology. In turn, typology features the express of the properties of the nervous system. The concept of the type of nervous system includes strength, mobility, lability, and some other features. The strength of the nervous system by activation process is a prospective study. The effectiveness of applying the differentiated approach using the criterion of the nervous system strength was proved in several studies [12, 13].

video feedback in fostering motor learning, motivation and self-assessment during a physical education program with young children [14];
Visual-motor integration is a complex ability that combines fine motor coordination (an aspect of school readiness) and visual-spatial reasoning skills [15];
Playing and exercising during the school day are important in fulfilling the recommendations for daily physical activity for children, as well as in promoting their mental and social health [16];
Results revealed that trait personality (particularly the social self-esteem aspect of extraversion) predicted lower anxiety and higher self-efficacy and intentions to exercise in both females and males [17].
We failed to find data concerning the influence of coordination abilities on the level of development of speed-power qualities of children 7-8 years old with different strength of the nervous system. This problem is the aim of this study.
Research hypothesis. If apply exercises for the development of motor actions coordination in children at physical education classes, the indicators of coordination abilities and indicators of speed-power qualities will improve. Such exercises are performed within 12-15 minutes. The load is regulated depending on the age of the children (7-8 years old) and the type of the nervous system.

participation of their children in the experiment.
Design of research:
The children were healthy and admitted to physical education classes. Before the experiment, all schoolchildren were differentiated into 3 equal groups [18].
1) in the CG (control group) were children who trained according to the standard program of physical education for first-form pupils [19].
2) in the EG-1 (experimental group - 1) were schoolchildren who trained according to the standard program [19]. However, after a short warm-up, the children performed coordination exercises within 12-15 minutes. Exercises were easy to perform. Exercises without objects (running, jumping, somersaults) and with objects (hula hoop, stick, bench, ball). Coordination complexity in performing exercises increased due to the introduction of additional objects, new elements of exercises, changing the movement direction. And some other methodical techniques [7].
3) in the EG-2 (experimental group - 2) were schoolchildren who trained according to the standard program [19]. Children performed exercises on the development of coordination abilities [7]. The differentiated approach was applied at the classes with schoolchildren, which is based on the strength of the nervous system by the activation process. For children, the load was differentiated according to the strength of their nervous system. For schoolchildren with a strong nervous system, the load was intense, and for schoolchildren with a weak nervous system - the load was volume. The intensity of the load was increased by reducing the time of rest and increasing the number of exercises. The volume of the load was increased by increasing the number of exercise repetitions and increasing the time of rest [13, 20. 21].
In total, 59 training classes were conducted during the pedagogical experiment. Classes were held twice a week for 45 minutes.
At the beginning and at the end of the pedagogical experiment, all the children passed the development tests: coordination abilities (3x10 shuttle run); speed-strength qualities (standing long jump). In EG-2, children were differentiated into two subgroups of 10 people, according to the strength of the nervous system according to by
activation process (tapping test).
Shuttle run [19]. Two lines are drawn at a distance of 10 m. At the signal, children must run from start to finish (touch the line by hand). Then go back to the start line (touch it by hand) and cross the finish line.
The standing long jump with double beat [19]. Three attempts are provided. The best result is taken into consideration.
Tapping test [22]. The paper has six squares. At the signal, the students begin quickly put points inside one square within five seconds. Then move to another square. After the sixth square the exercise finishes. The number of points in each square sum up. A graph is constructed and the strength of the student's nervous system is determined.
Statistical analysis
Statistical processing of the results was carried out applying BioStat 2009 and Excel. The result was significant at p <0.05 [23, 24].
Results
Before the beginning of the pedagogical experiment, all schoolchildren passed the test for the development of coordination abilities. The children were differentiated into three identical groups (p> 0.05).
Schoolchildren in EG-2 were differentiated into two subgroups based on the strength of the nervous system by activation process. After the end of the pedagogical experiment, the following results were obtained (Table 1).
Table 1 revealed that the indicators of schoolchildren in all tests have changed.
Schoolchildren of the CG (trained according to the standard program) improved their results in the "standing long jump" test (by 3.2 cm), but degraded results in the "shuttle run" test (from 10.3 ± 0.6 to 10.4 ± 0.6). Such indicators allow to confirm the low efficiency of application the standard teaching methods (p> 0.05).
Schoolchildren of EG-1 (trained according to the standard program and performed exercises on the development of coordination abilities) improved their performance in both tests. The standing jump length increased by 10.6 cm (p <0.05), and coordination abilities improved from 10.3 ± 0.6 to 10.1 ± 0.5 (p> 0.05). These results allow to confirm the effectiveness of the application of coordination training.
Schoolchildren of EG-2 significantly improved their

performance in both tests. In the 3x10 shuttle run test the results improved by 0.6 s (p <0.05), and the standing long jump increased from 123.5 ± 3.6 to 144.5 ± 4.1 (p <0.05). The obtained results confirm a high level of efficiency in the application of a differentiated approach to physical education classes. This approach is based on the strength of the nervous system by the activation process
Discussion
Coordination abilities are important for schoolchildren and athletes. These abilities allow to perform precise motor actions and save energy during several motor actions [2, 3, 7]. There are several classifications of coordination abilities [1]. These studies consider individual abilities and give general recommendations for improving motor actions performance. It is known that the primary school age is a favorable period for coordination development. Our research only confirms these studies.
Some studies point at the correlation between coordination abilities and physical qualities [5, 6, 25-27]. However, we didn't find studies devoted to the influence of coordination abilities on children's physical qualities (for example, on speed-power abilities). Such abilities are also very important in physical education, sports, daily life, and human activities. The results of our study confirm the existence of such an interrelation. Schoolchildren improved coordination indicators and increased speedpower indicators.
The differentiated approach is the basis of pedagogical work at school. Such an approach allows to reveal the inner potential of the group and each student [8, 9]. Earlier we determined the wide variety of criteria that are applied to differentiate children into groups. One of these criteria is the typology of the nervous system [12, 13]. It is evident the need for a clearer revealing the application of physical activity for children with different nervous systems.
The essence of the application of the typological criterion is to differentiate the load in children with different strengths of the nervous system. For schoolchildren with
a strong nervous system, it is more efficient to apply an intense load, and for schoolchildren with a weak nervous system - a volume load [20. 21].
It is important to understand that children with a weak nervous system by activation process are not weak in general. Such schoolchildren need a different physical activity. Children with a weak nervous system have several advantages over children with a strong nervous system. For example, they are able to perform longer monotonous actions. Such children have high reactivity and the ability to master complex coordination exercises. Schoolchildren with different types of the nervous system go to the same aim in different ways.
Thus, our study determined the interrelation of coordination abilities and speed-power qualities among schoolchildren of 7-8 years old. It was revealed the effective influence of coordination training on the indicators of speed-power qualities. It is determined the efficiency of applying a differentiated approach based on the typology of schoolchildren. This allows to confirm the achieving the aim and complete confirmation of the research hypothesis.
Conclusion
It is necessary to develop coordinating abilities of schoolchildren within 12-15 minutes at every physical education lesson. It is necessary to apply a differentiated approach, which is based on the typology of the nervous system of schoolchildren. This approach will significantly improve the indicators of coordination abilities and speedpower qualities.
The results of our research can be used by teachers, trainers, and athletes. The research is relevant and promising for the study of new interrelations of coordination abilities and various physical qualities.
