The development of spatial orientation was in children aged 8-9 years. 104 students took part in a study in the city of Kirov (Russian Federation). At school 60, children do physical education 2 times a week for 40 minutes. They were divided into 2 groups. The experimental group consists of schoolchildren who studied according to the usual methodology and additionally performed physical exercises on the gymnastic stick. Children from the control group were engaged in a standard program for schoolchildren of grades 1-11. The ability to kinesthetically differentiate the parameters of movements was determined using the "Hitting the ball on target" test. The Student's T-test was used to process the results. After the end of the pedagogical experiment, the indicators of children in the control group improved by 26% (p>0.05), the positive dynamics can be explained by a natural increase in coordination abilities at the age of 8-9 years and the effectiveness of using the standard physical education program in Russian schools. The indicators of children in the experimental group improved by 73% (p %U https://easletters.com/article/development-of-kinesthetic-differentiation-of-movement-parameters-of-children-aged-8-9-years-using-a-qpuigkvfwdupfkz
