ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to compare the coordinative abilities among dancers and rhythmic gymnasts. The selected coordinative abilities twenty dancers and rhythmic female gymnasts in the age group of 19 to 23 were selected as subjects for the study. The data was collected by administering various coordinative ability tests as suggested by Peter Hirtz. All the tests used were demonstrated and explained to the subjects prior to their administration. The subjects were given a chance to practice to become familiar with the test through practice. There was no time limit in performing the test but the subjects were required to put in their best. To find out the significant difference between dancers and rhythmic gymnasts in the five coordinative abilities t-test was used for testing. The level of significance was chosen at 0.05 level.
