Background. The following study attempts to compare the motor skills of younger schoolaged female children (7-9 and 9-11) who attended rhythmic gymnastics classes and those who participated in modern dance classes. Material and methods. The study involved 30 girls aged 7-9 and 35 aged 9-11 who attended rhythmic gymnastics, as well as 36 female children aged 7-9 and 40 aged 9-11 doing modern dance. Sixteen tests of motor skills were conducted to assess the coordination of the whole body, lower-limb explosive strength, lower-limb flexibility, repetitive bodily movement and its frequency. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied for determining quantitive differences between the two groups of girls. Results. The results of the research showed a significant difference in most motor variables at the level of statistical significance of P=0.05 between the two categories of examinees, especially in the older age group (9-11), showcasing better results in the girls engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. Conclusions. The findings may help to understand the specific requirements concerning girls’ competing in rhythmic gymnastics, as well as their everyday training process, which is considerably more demanding than that of modern dance performers, which may however ultimately result in higher-quality motor skills, especially of coordination, static balance and flexibility.

Wprowadzenie. Poniższe badanie porównuje umiejętności motorycznych młodszych dziewcząt w wieku szkolnym (7-9 i 9-11 lat), które uczęszczały na zajęcia z gimnastyki artystycznej i tańca nowoczesnego. Materiał i metody. W badaniu wzięło udział 30 dziewcząt w wieku 7-9 lat i 35 w wieku 9-11 lat, które uczyły się gimnastyki artystycznej oraz 36 dziewcząt w wieku 7-9 lat i 40 w wieku 9-11 lat, które zajmowały się tańcem współczesnym. Przeprowadzono szesnaście testów umiejętności motorycznych, aby ocenić koordynację całego ciała, siłę wybuchową dolnych kończyn oraz ich elastyczność, powtarzalne ruchy ciała i ich częstotliwość. Zastosowano wielowymiarową analizę wariancji (MANOVA) do określenia różnic ilościowych między dwiema grupami dziewcząt. Wyniki. Wyniki badań wskazały na istotną różnicę w większości zmiennych motorycznych na poziomie istotności statystycznej P = 0,05 pomiędzy dwiema kategoriami badanych, szczególnie w starszej grupie wiekowej (9-11), wykazujących lepsze wyniki u dziewcząt zajmujących się gimnastyką rytmiczną. Wnioski. Wyniki badań mogą pomóc w zrozumieniu specyficznych wymagań dotyczących rywalizacji dziewcząt w gimnastyce rytmicznej, a także ich codziennego treningu, który jest znacznie bardziej wymagający niż w przypadku ćwiczących taniec współczesny, co z kolei może ostatecznie skutkować lepszymi umiejętnościami motorycznymi, zwłaszcza koordynacji, równowagi statycznej i elastyczności.
