ABSTRACT: Introduction. According to a Eurydice report, in EU member states there are differences regarding the number of physical education classes held throughout a school year. Considering the number of EU physical education and health classes, in 2016, out of the total of 28 member states, Hungary occupied the 1st place and Romania the 21st place. Aims of the Research. This research aims to analyze the effects that additional physical activity programmes have on motor and health related components of students in 6th grade. Subjects and Methods. The research was performed on a sample group of 55 subjects, students in 6th grade, from two schools from Oradea, the additional programme using exercises and games with themes from handball, basketball, rugby-tag and badminton. We used two test batteries (EUROFIT and NETFIT) by which we measured the motor and health related components of physical fitness of the subjects involved in the research. The data was statistically analyzed using the SPSS software, version 20.0. In order to test the normality of the distribution of the data we used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests, and to compare the mean values we used parametric and non-parametric tests, depending on the distribution: paired sample t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. We also calculated the effect size (Cohen’s d or eta-squared) with a confidence interval of 95%. Using the ANOVA analysis of variance, we calculated the variation between the scores and the mean values of the groups involved in the research. Results. Regarding the motor parameters with a normal distribution, the paired sample t-test shows that in case of experimental group A (EGA), after 7 months of additional physical activity, significant differences were recorded for 6 out of the 9 assessed parameters (plate tapping (PT), standing broad jump (SBJ), handgrip test (HT), sit-ups (STU), endurance shuttle run (ESR), paced push-ups (PPU)), while in case of experimental group B (EGB), the differences were recorded for 7 parameters (PT, SBJ, HT, sit-and-reach (SAR), shuttle run (SR), ESR, PPU, and in case of the control group (CG), for 5 parameters PT, SBJ, HT, ESR and trunk extension (TE). Conclusions. In EGA, in case of the nine assessment tests, the number of students located within the health zone increased by 5, in EGB this number increased by 13, and in the CG, by 3 subjects. We can establish that from this point of view the most efficient programme was the one applied to EGB.
