Does physical activity affect specific rhythmic gymnastics skills in children?

The main aim of current research was to determine the relationship between the physical activity and achieved levels of specific motor skills in rhythmic gymnastics in 6-year-old children. Seventy preschool children participated (30 girls and 40 boys). Overall, 20 rhythmic gymnastics skills tests were constructed. Statistically significant correlation was not found for any of the applied pparatus. So, children who spend more time participating in active play, not necessarily have to be better in performing specific motor skills of rhythmic gymnastics. In future research it is advisable to do a better selection of children from different backgrounds to ensure the heterogeneity of the sample.
