Sažetak
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between fitness tests, and results in selected gymnastic skills in students selected for physical education programs. A secondary purpose of this study was to establish which assessment tests best represent, or correspond, with performance. A total of 170 male students were recruited from the Faculty of Sport in Prishtina to participate in the study. The participants were tested for several fitness tests, and performance in selected gymnastic skills. There were significant correlations between fitness tests and performance in gymnastic skills. In conclusion, the significant association was found between flexibility, abdominal muscle strength and endurance and performance in gymnastics. Moreover, several fitness tests were found as significant predictor for results in several gymnastic skills. The results of this research suggest the conclusion that, in the students of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, abdominal strength and flexibility, are significant predictor for the successful acquisition of the program contents of gymnastics.
