Importance of physical education and its placment in the educational system are known for a long period of time. Many resreaches have been conducted in order to determine the extent to which physical education positively influences students. Results of some studies show that physical education classes are unsatisfactory and inappropriate, given the circumstances- age and individual skills of students, their needs and interests (Arunovic, 1978; Visnjic, 1983; Krsmanovic, 1988, 1995). Main reasons for ineficinet physical education classes can be found in the bad concept of modelling teaching syllabuses and small number of physical education classes per week (Krsmanovic, 1995). The aim of the study is determining differences between examinees in terms of motor skills, depending on material and technical conditions as well as method of class organisation that is realization of the curriculum. The participants in the study were 142 adolescents, 17 years of age (± 6 months ). In order to assess motor skills 12 motor tests were used. Data processing was done by applying multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), significance of difference was determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA), while differences among examinees of the experimental and the control group were determined by discriminant analysis. After the experimental treatment, it was determined that there was statistically significant difference between the experimental and the control group within the motor skills system.
