Abstract

Aim. This study estimates changes in motivation for physical education (PE) following the inclusion of complex coordination exercises in the grading standards. Materials and methods. This study assessed the effect of complex coordination exercises on grading standards and their impact on motivation for physical education. Results. Two engineering universities with different approaches to physical education grading standards participated in a survey. One university used traditional means of physical education as end-of-term exercises, while the other introduced complex coordination exercises as grading standards. The study demonstrated that the use of complex coordination exercise stimulated motivation for physical education. Conclusion. The use of complex coordination exercises as grading standards in physical education electives at university enhances motivation for physical education.
