The sample consisted of 40 female participants extracted from a population of elementary school students from Niš, age 12 ± 6 months, who regularly participated in their physical education classes. The basic aim of the research was to determine the influence of programmed contents of regular physical education classes on the development of the motor agility and functional abilities of the participants. The research problem was the evaluation of whether under the influence of physical education in the curriculum we can achieve a statistically significant increase in the level of the motor agility and functional abilities of the participants. By using the student t-test for small dependent samples and the canonical discriminant analysis, we determined that under the influence of physical exercise, at the end of a three-month period of physical education classes, a statistically significant increase in the level of motor agility and functional abilities of the participants was determined.
