Abstract. The aim of this study was to perform a restandardization of coordination tests that are used in the selection process in artistic gymnastics and to verify their reliability. The research was carried out on a sample of 112 boys (7 years ± 6 months), first-grade elementary school students from Nis. The reliability evaluation included 19 situational-motor coordination tests, measured by instruments that were used in the selection of gymnasts in 8 countries (Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece and Serbia). We hypothesized that the composite coordination tests, which consist of a pilot trial and two measurements (two particles), are the most adequate for practical use, with acceptable reliability. All the tests are recommended for further use in practice, for selection in gymnastics and all sports in which coordination essentially determines success. The tests are recommended for measuring coordination skills of younger school age children.

POUZDANOST SITUACIONO-MOTORIČKIH TESTOVA KOORDINACIJE PRIMENJENIH U SELEKCIJI ZA SPORTSKU GIMNASTIKU
Cilj istraživanja bio je da se izvrši restandardizacija testova koordinacije koji se primenjuju u procesu selekcije za sportsku gimnastiku i proveri njihova pouzdanost. Istraživanje je izvršeno na uzorku od 112 osoba, muškog pola, uzrasta od 7 godina (± 6 meseci), polaznika prvih razreda osnovnih škola grada Niša. Procena pouzdanosti obuhvatila je 19 situaciono-motoričkih merenih instrumenata koordinacije koji su korišćeni u selekciji za sportsku gimnastiku u 8 zemalja (Rusija, Bugarska, Ruminija, Češka, Slovačka, Slovenija, Grčka i Srbija). Potvrđena je hipoteza da kompozitni testovi koordinacije sastavljeni od jednog probnog pokušaja i dva merenja (dve čestice), kao najekonimičniji za primenu u praksi, imaju prihvatljivu pouzdanost. Svi testovi se preporučuju za dalju upotrebu u praksi selekcije kako za sportsku gimnastiku tako i za sve sportove u kojima koordinacija bitno opredeljuje uspeh. Preporučuju se i za merenje koordinacionih sposobnosti kod sve dece mljađeg školskog uzrasta.
