| RhythmicInvolvinggymnasticschildren in sports at an early age contributes to their physical and mental health. The motor skills that children develop during childhood greatly influence their abilities later in life. Although it isa conventional sportknown thatcontainsphysicalitsactivityown artistic component. In addition to skillfully manipulating the five required apparatus, rhythmic gymnasts must also control their body movements in harmony with the music to create a unified and aesthetically pleasing performance. The same requires great coordination ability, asis one of the most importantmotorfactorsabilitiesfor the healthy development of children, some studies show that more and more children are insufficiently active, which results inrhythmicobesitygymnastics.andThenumerousaimother health losses. It is extremely important to educate parents and educators about the importance of sports, its contribution to a better quality of life, and the benefits children achieve by engaging in physical activity or sports. Therefore, the goal of thispaperresearch was toconstructdetermine the current state of motor skills of preschool children and whether there is acoordinationdifferenceassessmentintesttheapplicablemotorspecificallyskills of children who play sports and those who do not play any sport.

This suggests that sports undoubtedly have a positive impact on children's motor skills, emphasizing the importance of encouraging children to participate in physical activities whenever possible.
