Harmonious development of motor abilities of children aged 2-5 in the conditions of the far North

Relevance . The article discusses a comparison of the harmonious development of motor abilities in traditional physical education and functional-motor complex physical education of children of early, junior and middle preschool age in the Far North. The purpose of the study is to show the advantage of focusing on functional-motor complex physical education in the harmonious development of children 2-5 years old in the Far North. Methods and organization of the study. The harmony of development of motor skills (MS), physical qualities (FC) and functional motor abilities (FMS) of children 2–5 years old in the Far North was considered on the basis of the data we studied on the level of development of motor abilities of children in comparison with age-related normative indicators (Kravchuk, 2013; Schroeder, Kravchuk, 2019; Mukhina, 2017). In each type of readiness, the harmonious development of the child was considered to be the fulfillment of age standards and the failure to meet only one of them, and close to harmonious development was the failure to meet two standards. To assess the harmonious state of development of children's motor abilities, both indicators were taken into account. Conclusions . Thus, the analysis of indicators of types of preparedness made it possible to identify the individual harmonious development of the child.
