Determining the changes in the motor fitness of children of older preschool age after the implementation of the experimental program and the effects of the realized models of the dance program on the motor fitness of children of older preschool age was the main goal of the conducted research. The main objective of the conducted research was to identify the changes in the motor fitness of children of older preschool age following the implementation of the experimental program and the effects of the DEVELOPED models of the dancing program on the motor fitness of children of older preschool age. The application of dance in preschool age has a significant role in the formation of motor skills of the youngest, as well as in their overall psychophysical development. Dance activities contribute to the development of the ability to observe, distinguish and perform rhythmic structures, dynamics and tempo, perceive, navigate and control space. The dissertation should answer the questions: do different models of the dance program affect changes in the motor fitness of preschool children (the oldest preschool group) and how do the applied models of the dance exercise program affect the motor fitness of children of the aforementioned age group? The sample of respondents consisted of 120 children of preschool age (the oldest groups) from a kindergarten in Vranje. The subjects were divided into four groups: three experimental (E1, E2 and E3) and one control group (K). All experimental groups underwent a dance program lasting 12 weeks, but the number of training sessions per week was different between the groups. The control group did a regular program in the kindergarten during the stated time period. Each group consisted of 30 subjects. Measuring instrument for assessing motor fitness was Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency BOT2 that measured: Fine motor precision, Fine motor integration, Manual dexterity, Bilateral coordination, Balance, Running speed and agility, Upper body coordination, Strength. The statistical data processing package SPSS v.20 was used for data processing and analysis. Descriptive parameters, one-factor ANOVA + subsequent comparison (lsd post hoc test), T-test for dependent samples with calculation of effect size (Cohen Effect Size), Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were calculated. The experimental program, which includes the application of the dance program, lasted 12 weeks, and the number of training sessions per week was different for all experimental groups (E1, E2 and E3). The E1 group applied the dance program twice a week for 35 minutes, E2 three times a week for 25 minutes, and E3 five times a week for 15 minutes. The volume of training for all three experimental groups is on a weekly basis from 70 to 75 minutes. The control group did a regular program in the kindergarten during the previously stated period. The results of this dissertation showed that different models of the dance program, lasting 12 weeks, have effects on certain parameters of motor fitness of preschool children. The achieved effects in the experimental groups show that changes in motor development can be caused by external factors. Progress in motor development can be seen through better results achieved in tests that assess the level of motor skills, especially in those who are most affected by dance due to its structure (balance and coordination).
