The main goal of this research was to determine the motor skills of students of Early and Preschool Education at the Univercity of Zagreb and the differences between groups. The research was conducted with the help of an anonymus survey questionnaire. The total sample consisted of 55 students, of which 29 from the 1st year of undergraduate students and 26 of graduate students. The sample of variables consisted of 5 tests to assess motor skills (sit-ups, superman and jumping jacks in 60 seconds, standing long jump, sit and reach with open legs and single leg stance on the toes) and one open-ended question to assess satisfaction of their solved tests. Descriptive statistics were calculated based on the collected data, and t-test was used to determine the differences between the two groups of students. The obtained data showed a statistically significant difference only in the one, leg standing balance test on the toes. Graduate students achieve 3 times higher maximum score. It is important to emphasize that the students, assessing their own satisfaction with the tests performed, made it clear that they are aware of the need to improve their motor skills. The results show that there is large dispersion of data in all measurements, which proves that large differences between the motor abilities of students in all tests. Physical exercise has a positive effect on the mental and physical health of a person and reduces stress, which is already expressed in students age. It is important to encourage them back in higher education in order to adopt healthy habits and maintain a level of motor ability.
