Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the initial findings from the research of the dissertation aiming at the creation of a set of tests that verify the rhythmic abilities of undergraduate students in the field of Physical Education and Sports. The tests are based on the content of the necessary competencies of future teachers.
In the dissertation thesis, a small scale of research will be realized, which will form the basis for possible future standardization of the rhythmic abilities test battery. The first use of the test battery in practice took place in the 2nd year of TVS UK FTVS students within the semester course Rhythmic gymnastics.
Testing revealed and pointed to the limits on which it is desirable to modify the test battery in such a way that it can be used in common practice. Task and individual test parameters are based on learning outcomes, which are the competencies expected from teachers and trainers in the area of skills acquisition in realizing the optimal blending of motion and music.
The results of the rhythmic abilities tests will be statistically processed due to the possible reduction of the test battery and the verification of the non-overlapping of the tests when assessing the individual components of the rhythmical and musical-motion abilities.
