Abstract

The work addresses the application of a test to control the physical agility capacity in third grade students from the primary school "David Díaz Guadarrama" in Santo Domingo. It poses as a scientific problem: How to control the physical agility capacity in Physical Education classes in third grade students of the primary school "David Díaz Guadarrama" in Santo Domingo? The objective is: To design a specific test for the control of the physical agility capacity of these students and as an objective system: to characterize the current state of the control of the physical agility capacity and assess through specialist criteria the viability of the specific test for the control of physical agility capacity in students. Methods such as observation, interview, document analysis and specialist criteria are used. It concludes by stating that the current state of control of physical agility capacity is characterized by the lack of a specific test that adequately measures this ability in Physical Education classes. The test developed to control physical agility ability in third grade students in primary school, measures the quality of development for which it is designed and is considered viable based on the criteria offered by specialists.
