The article presents the results of a study on the use of individual tasks with children of primary school age in the conditions of independent work at home. The purpose of this article is to develop and experimentally validate a methodology for the use of individual tasks in terms of independent work at home, aimed at improving physical fitness of children of primary school age. Practical value of the work consists in development of methods of using individual tasks in physical education of children of primary school age in conditions of independent work at home, which can be applied in the process of extracurricular work in physical education of children as individual homework, according to the new curriculum for physical education. The study is based on generally accepted concepts of leading scientists in the field of physical education and sport. Research methods are: analysis and generalization of literary sources, physical fitness testing, and methods of mathematical statistics. The studies revealed that the level of physical preparedness of junior pupils is low. Considering the data obtained, we developed a technique of using individual tasks in terms of independent work at home, aimed at increasing the level of physical preparedness of children of primary school age. Experimental results proved the effectiveness of our proposed method for increasing the level of physical preparedness of junior pupils. The results of the experimental studies indicate that the proposed experimental method is a reliable means of improving physical fitness of children of this age and can be used in secondary schools as a procedure of individual homework assignments, according to the new curriculum for physical education. Further studies involve the development and experimental substantiation of the method of individual tasks usage in conditions of independent work at home to enhance physical fitness level of children of secondary school age.
