Purpose: This study set out to assess the effects of environmental context design and parameterization of angel jump learning on students' motor development. Methods: 18 girls and 14 boys were submetted to 56 angel jumping lessons in a set up context (runway, springboard, moss 6mx3.60mx0.60m, 12m square walkway). They carried out tests to evaluate the strength of the upper limbs, the strength/speed of the lower limbs, the general dynamic coordination before and after learning the angel jump. Results: The results obtained showed significantly higher post learning values compared to the initial values for lower limb strength and speed (0.37±0.01m Vs 0.27±0.01m and 0.51±0.01m Vs 0.37±0.01m), upper extremity strength (32.11±0.90kg Vs 22.11±0.90kg and 39.00±0.88kg Vs 34.07±0.92kg), and general dynamic coordination (7.00±1.03 Vs 5.44±0.51 and 9.21±0.89 Vs 7.43±0.51) in girls and boys, respectively (p<0.00).0,001). Conclusion: These results suggest that spatial design and the parameterization of the learning of angel skipping promote students' motor development.
