Sažetak
The aim of this research is to determine the flexibility of female students of Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb after completing rhythmic gymnastics treatment for a period of one year. The research was conducted on sample of 45 second year female students of Faculty of Kinesiology at the age 20 to 23. The students were measured in 3 tests to assess flexibility of different parts of the body before treatment starts (initial measurement) and immediately after completion of the program (final measurement). The T-test for dependent sample was used to establish the differences between the initial and final measurement. The results of T-test showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the initial and final measurement in all variables (MFLISK, MFLPRK, MFLRLK). This study confirm that the stretching exercises that are largely represented in teaching rhythmic gymnastics lead to an increase in functional range of motion, and also have a positive impact on mental and physical health.
