The main objective of this research was to determine the influence of the nutrition status on co-ordination and strength in pre-school children. The participants of the research were children from kindergarten "Radost" from Jastrebarsko, 48 children, boys and girls aged 4 to 7 years. Checking the motor coordination skills (backwards polygon) and repetitive strenght (lifting troops) were checked once. The engine capacity of the explosive strenght (jump from place) was checked three times and the mean value was calculated. Anthropometric variables were used to calculate nutrition status indicators, which include: body height and body mass. Descriptive statistics show the following statistical indicators: number of participants, mean value, minimum value, maximum value, and standard deviation. The effect of nutrition status on motor abilities was tested by regression analysis. A correlation matrix was used to determine the correlation between the effect of nutrition and motor abilities. The results of this research show us that 2 participants (4.17%) belong to the group of undernourished children. 36 participants (75.00%) belong to the group of normally nursing children, which is due to the total number of participants a large share. 4 participants (8.33%) belong to the group of excessively overweight children and even six participants (12.50%) belong to the group of overweight children. The condition of nutrition in this study had an impact on motor skills coordination and strength. Undernourished children had better results in backwards polygon, jump from place and in lifting troops while the overweight children less successful results. Given the results of this study, it can be concluded that children need to increase the level of physical activity due to the trend of increasing the status of nutrition that would not continue to move in the positive way.
