Apstrakt: 
Because adolescents spend most of their time studying and doing schoolwork, they do not have enough time to
engage in physical activity; this lack of physical activity is an important public health concern. Therefore, this study aimed
to determine how the physical education curriculum and programs aff ect the physical and motor development of adolescents
in the Kosovo. The research was carried out on a sample of 386 male students, who participated in physical education
classes that lasted 72 hours (45 minutes after 2 hours per week). In order to realize the objectives of the research, 7
anthropometric measures and 14 motor (fi tness) tests were applied. Research results showed changes in all anthropometric
measures and motor fi tness tests between initial and fi nal measurements. The results of the research showed that physical
education programs can have a positive eff ect on motor development among middle school aged adolescents in the Kosovo.
