OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were: a) to examine the influence of an 18-week basic artistic gymnastics program on @entity717 ( @entity717 ) development in seven-year-old @entity1 ; b) to determine correlations between @entity1 's daily activities and successful performance of @entity717 and basic artistic gymnastics skills. METHODS: Seventy five first grade primary school @entity1 took part in this study. A physical education teacher specialized in artistic gymnastics conducted a gymnastics program for 18 weeks, three times a week. The level of gymnastics skills and @entity717 were identified at the beginning and at the end of the program. The level of gymnastics skills was evaluated by performance of eight artistic gymnastics skills, while @entity717 were evaluated by the use of @entity717 -polygon. Physical activity and inactivity was evaluated by using a proxy-questionnaire "Netherlands Physical Activity Questionnaire   (NPAQ). FINDINGS: According to the dependent samples t test, significant differences were found in the @entity717 -polygon and all gymnastics skills before and after the 18-week gymnastics program. Increasing correlations were established over time between gymnastics skills and the @entity717 -polygon. Unorganized daily activity of @entity1 significantly correlated with their mastering of gymnastics skills and @entity717 . The presented findings confirm: (1) the thesis that basic artistic gymnastics skills and @entity717 could be developed simultaneously, (2) the theory of positive transfer of similar skills between @entity717 and artistic gymnastic skills. CONCLUSION: Mastering basic artistic gymnastics skills will provoke improvement of @entity717 and finally become a prerequisite for successful introduction of learning more complex gymnastics skills. The obtained results imply that an increase of @entity1 's unorganized daily activities can improve the mastering of basic gymnastics skills and simultaneously the development of @entity717 .
