Abstract


This paper presents a research focused on dance contents, specific dance programs and preschool children motor fitness. The main goal of this paper was to collect and analyze studies that as an experimental treatment had the contents of dance activities and their impact on the preschool children motor fitness. The necessary literature and papers were collected through the following databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, SCI index and the available professional literature at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Niš, as well as other available literature. The following keywords were used: influence, effects, preschool age, preschoolers, exercise, dance, dance activities, motor skills, motor skills and their adequate translation into English. Twelve papers that met the set criteria were selected for the final analysis. The following conclusion was drawn: there is a positive impact of dance contents on the preschool children motor fitness, therefore, they can be recommended for use as the adequate contents of the PE curricula in preschool institutions.
