Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to validate the theoretical postulates of planning and programming classes in physical education, with the subject and aim of the research focused on improving the practical work in the field of motor skills and knowledge development. The teaching process in the school subject of physical education aspires to educate the students (individuals) in a planned and programmed manner with the goal of affecting their physical and psychological constitution. The curricula should reflect the fundamentals of the physical and health education which strives to develop a well-rounded personality. The curricula which are used in class at the time when children reach the progressive stage in their physical growth and development have to be of the highest quality and designed by experts if they are to help meet the teaching objectives. This paper uses descriptive statistics to best explain the students' morphological characteristic and motor skills. The paper has a practical application, since the initial and final measurements and tests which are used to monitor and evaluate students have already been completed. The charts have been created which are to provide the working teachers with information on the outcomes of the curriculum in use. There is also the option of designing new curricula which would aim to foster the inherent biological potential of each child through quality practical work.
