Summary/Abstract: The systematic and adequate physical preparation is an important basis for achieving physical literacy in sport branch rhythmic gymnastics. The further preparation at the top level can not successfully continue without the mastery of basic movements and sports skills with a specific technique of difficulties with and without hand apparatuses. In the area of the cultivation we choose fundamental movement patterns: training locomotors and non-locomotors skills, music and movement education, classical dance technique (ballet training), development of flexibility, which is a limiting factor in rhythmic gymnastics, mastery of basic difficulty elements according to the international rules and basic skills in handling of hand apparatuses and equipment. Gymnastics movements and exercises are characterized by gymnast´s body posture, keeping the body and body parts in space, rhythm of movement, and fluidity of movement, combining performance with music and aesthetic experience during composition. Specifically rhythmic gymnastics skills along with psychosocial aspects of training are connected with general physical training.
