The main purpose of this research was to determine the influence of the suggested experimental program of physical education on motor abilities of the experimental group of schoolgirls. The research purpose was also to determine the influence of the current curriculum concerning teaching physical education of motor abilities of the control group of schoolgirls. The experimental program was carried out on the sample of 97 first-grade schoolgirls of the elementary schools in Leposavic and Zvecan, age of 7 years ± 6 months. The applied experimental program was composed of athletics exercises, sports games, exercises on the pieces of equipment and on the floor, rhythmics and dancing exercises and some additional exercises. The control group was taught according to the current curriculum. 12 metrical instruments were used to estimate motor abilities. Multivariant and univariant analyses of variance for repeated measures (MANOVA and ANOVA – repeated measures) were applied to determine the differences between the initial and final measuring within the groups. On the basis of the results and discussion, it can be concluded that the experimental program has statistically significant effects on the changes all of the motor abilities. Comparing the two programs, it was concluded that both of them caused the change in motor abilities, but the experimental program had statistically more significant effects.
