An important condition for the proper development and strengthening of human health is the satisfaction of body’s needs of movements. Movements impact the ability of the body to resist against adverse effects of the environment. Sports activities strengthen the body by improving the functions of the various organs and systems that respond to the increased ability of all motor activities. Data from numerous studies indicate increasing frequency of immobility among children and young people, which is a disturbing fact. This provokes our interest to explore the problem of motor activity and the interest in sport of 11–12-year-old Bulgarian pupils.

This raises the need to consider hidden mechanisms of professional activity that can lead to the fact that professionals cease to cope with their responsibilities, lose their creative mood over the subject and product of their work.

Although, the pulse rate is the most commonly used method as an indicator of functional pressure and pressure level, its overall tracking (throughout the physical experience) has been facilitated in recent years by the introduction of new technologies. It is they that give us the ability to trace this indicator at any moment of an exercise or from a concrete moment in the match, even in real time. For the purpose of our study, we tracked the pulse rate frequency dynamics in control games. From the data obtained, we chose three exercises that have a higher pressure level but are close to the tension of a real game conditions. These exercises have their constructive functional effect. Under these conditions we wanted to track what is the pulse rate frequency dynamics, what is the average pulse, and the maximum, we have also taken into account the break intervals during the games.
