In order to determine the influence of some motor abilities on the performance of basic acrobatic elements of artistic gymnastics, in various stages of their acquisition, this study evaluated a sample of 44 first graders. ANOVA, with Fisher post hoc test, revealed significant differences in measured variables, at various stages of the learning process. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the influence of some motor abilities on the gymnastics skills in all phases of the learning process. Results confirmed a statistically significant effect of predictor variables on all analyzed skills in the initial point of the learning process, on four skills in the transitive point of the learning process and statistically significant influence on two skills in the final point of the learning process. The percentage of explained criteria variability ranged from 43% to 64%. It can be concluded that the application of the proper kinesiological treatment, which results with higher level of learned skills, reduces statistical reliability of the influence of motor abilities on the performance of some skills.
