The study aims to determine the effect of speed-strength training on the indicators of the attention span of schoolchildren with different strengths of the nervous system. The study was carried out in a normal school in the city of Kirov in Russia and lasted for 3 months. Physical education classes were held 2 times a week for 40 minutes. 20 schoolchildren from the control group were engaged in a standard physical education program. 20 other schoolchildren from the experimental group additionally performed exercises to develop speed and strength abilities. The strength of the nervous system was determined by the Tapping test, and the amount of attention was determined by the test «Schulte Tables». After the end of the pedagogical experiment, the indicators of attention volume in the control group in children that have a strong nervous system improved from 31.3±2.2 seconds to 30.4±2.2 seconds (P>0,05), and in children with a weak nervous system improved by +6% (P>0,05). In the experimental group, the indicators of attention volume in schoolchildren with a strong nervous system improved from 30.9±2.2 seconds to 26.0±1.9 seconds (P>0,05), and in children with a weak nervous system by 19% (P>0,05). If at each physical education lesson, you perform a set of physical exercises aimed at developing speed and strength abilities, considering how strong the schoolchildren's nervous system is, then the indicators of attention span will significantly improve. At the same time, the load for schoolchildren with different nervous systems should be differentiated.
