Mobile devices and software applicable in Russian physical culture and sports GTO complex tests

Abstract

The authors developed a mobile device and application software to record and process the GTO Complex 100m sprint test data. The mobile device was tested at the premises of Elabuga Institute of Kazan Federal University to obtain and analyse the GTO Complex test data. The overall physical fitness of the students was tested by the statistical express test method, and the test group data showed a unimodal distribution close to normal. In case of the inconsistent composition of the sample in the similar experiment, the test data distribution was bimodal. We believe that the mobile device with the application software could be beneficial for the physical education process for the reason that the system records and processes on a real-time basis the GTO test data and makes possible timely adjustments to the physical education process.
