The influence of physical development on adolescent girls place physical education and sport at the core of functional somatic and motor harmonisation, but also turns them into defining factors for a healthy lifestyle. Our research aims to find solutions for one of the desiderata of physical education, namely developing bio-psychomotor skills and building the ability to act and maintain a positive psychophysical tone in adolescentgirls. In this regard, motor programmes were developed using the means of fitness, which were introduced in the physical education lesson. The research was carried out in the 2019-2020 school year at the “Grigore Moisil” National College in Bucharest. The groups participating in the experiment are made up of 40 girl students in the 10th grade (aged 15-16 years). The study was conducted over 8 weeks during 16 physicaleducation lessons. The research subjects were assessed by initial and final tests. Following the motor programme performed using the means of fitness, the motor ability of the experimental group has improved, which is supported by significant statistical evidence for all 6 tests: push-ups, sit-ups, trunk extension from the prone position, standing long jump, 50-m speed run with a standing start, 800-m endurance run. The training programme applied to the experimental group had higher efficiency than the traditional training programme commonly used in the physical education lesson.
