Abstract
The relations of some motor tests in the initial status to successfulness in rhythmic sports gymnastics (RSG) after a six - month learning process were investigated on the sample of 100 eleven - year - old pupils. The predictor system consisted of motor tests for evaluating coordination, realization of rhythmic structures, balance, flexibility, movement frequency, explosive and repetitive power. The criterion variables were represented by three rhythmic compositions, which are officially carried out at national championships for the category of girls in the required all-around RSG competitions. The most significant correlation to successful performance of RSG compositions was recorded with the tests of flexibility, strength and coordination in rhythm. The test of legs movement frequency (MBFTAZ) has an outstanding predictive value in the compositions with hand apparatus. The obtained pieces of information can be used in training sessions for developing such motor abilities that exhibit the greatest correlation to the performance, and, consequently, can show how to direct the training process in order to improve the final performance of the composition.
