We used questionnaire surveys, interviews, discussions, traditional physical fitness tests and mathematical statistics data processing tools for the purposes of the study. The experiment was designed to complement the preschool physical education program with elements of traditional Evenk active games and rate the group physical progress by the pre- versus post-experimental physical fitness tests.
