The program was performed in school within the educational process of physical education. The experiment was realized with selected pupils in the 4th classes at primary schools in Banská Bystrica. The evaluation of motor abilities was realized. Thanks to the chosen standardized tests. The content analysis of motor tests´ results show a significant (p < 0.01) impact of applied motion program on the level of chosen coordination abilities of pupils with recommendation to the school practice. Keywords: Early school age, intervention motion program, motor abilities, rhythmic gymnastics Introduction The conclusions and results of many researches on the problem of school physical and sport education show a constant decrease in motor fitness and in the physical performance of school population (Bendíková, 2014; Bendíková & Kostencka, 2013; Hubinák, 2009; Frömel, Novosad & Svozil, 1999; Mužík & Krejčí, 1997; and others). Hence, this is the reason various intervention motion programs were implemented in schools. Their realization should result to a change in current state, in the development of the motor fitness, and in the physical performance of school age children. Consequently, the eligibility of intervention motion programs´ application has been proven and demonstrated by many researches´ results. The “Physical Activity across the Curriculum Program” was realized at schools during a period of three years. Thus, the purpose of the program is to foster the development of physical activity and the reduction of obesity in pupils.
