Summary/Abstract: The survey was conducted on a sample of 60 women, 50-60 years old with the aim of determining the effect of recreational exercise in the form of senior fitness on trainees’ motorics. The total sample consisted of two groups of 30 women. The experimental group performed senior fitness activities with three 60 minutes morning sessions per week for three months (36 training sessions). The second group (control) was not subjected to organized physical exercise. For the evaluation of motoric skills six tests were used: step in place test (2 minutes), arm curl test, chair stand test, shair sit and reach test, back scratch test and 8-foot up and go test. In addition to descriptive statistical parameters, analysis of covariance were also used. The results showed a general improvement in the level of trainees’ motoric skills.
