The main goal of the conducted research was to examine the motor skills of students of Early and Preschool Education and Teacher Education programs and to determine the differences in the motor skills of students from two different study programs.

The sample of variables consisted of six tests for checking motor skills (sit-ups, standing long jump, standing on one leg, hand tapping, sit and reach and polygon of the backwards). Descriptive statistics were calculated on the basis of the collected data, and then the differences between the two groups of respondents were tested with a t-test. The results of the research show a small variation in the results between female students of different study programs. They show a statistically significant difference only in the strength tests, the standing long jump, in which the students of Early and Preschool Education achieved a better result, and the speed tests, hand tapping, in which students of Teacher Education achieved a better results. Regular physical activity has a stimulating effect on people's mental and physical health and helps reduce stress, which is also noticeable among female students. Therefore, it is important to encourage them to be active in college education so that they can create healthy lifestyle habits and maintain their level of activity.
