The essence and features of the physical development of girls of primary school age are considered in the article. The foundations of the development of physical qualities at the age of 6-10 years are analyzed. The concept of aerobics as an instrument of health improvement is given and its effect on body is indicated. The basic requirements for aerobics classes for girls of primary school age are determined and some of the most favorable exercises for achieving the desired goals are highlighted. The analysis of the research results indicates that the use of aerobic exercises not only contributes to the development of specific physical qualities - speed, strength endurance, agility (coordination), flexibility, but also it is able to develop musicality, memory and attentiveness, stabilize the nervous system, improve psycho-emotional state and general well-being. The pedagogical observation was conducted during the period from September, 14 to November 1, 2020. Its base is ‘Ruda Vorona’ in Irpin. The research involved (n = 20) girls aged 6-10 years. The main obstacles for using the aerobics exercises in the training process are a significant load on the girls' body and a high risk of injury, that increase the level of teacher responsibility and provide for the constant monitoring of the child's health and, if it is necessary, individual selection of exercises. That is why, it is important to use not only traditional general developmental exercises that are common in aerobics and are previously researched, but implement the modern methods, that are based on using innovative health technologies.
