In physical education classes in the Republic of Serbia the development of strength belongs to the first thematic area of physical education teaching, and it belongs to the development of physical abilities, which apart from strength includes speed, endurance, coordination, agility and balance. The most frequently used method in classes where the strength of body musculature is being developed is the method of dynamic repetitions. Working with these parallel groups, we wanted to show the influence of the Core Method and its advantages and benefits in body musculature strength development compared to the formerly used methods. The experimental group was systematically subjected to the experimental Core Method of physical strength development. The control group was subjected to the dynamic method – repeated strains (the development of repetitive physical strength). At the initial and final measuring the pupils were tested by the elements of the Eurofit battery and IPFT test. The progress we made after a four-month-research in motor variables with the sixth grade elementary school pupils can be entirely attributed to the use of the experimental core training method in physical education classes
