To evaluate the physical development of students was used the methodology proposed by Kalinin. The results show that students, research participants, had the physical tests in the horizontal jump without running, push-ups, running on at 1500 m below the expected level for age group, and note that girls show abysmal levels of development of physical testing. Thus we conclude that it is necessary to create new strategies in physical education programs, able to fully meet the students and enable better development of physical and motor, preventing children and adolescents are part of risk groups to hypokinetic diseases.
