Abstract: 
Population from which a sample of 40 examinees has been taken is consisted of primary school pupils, of male sex, age 13 and 14 year ± 6 months, divided into a group of 20 attendants of school of skiing (experimental group) and a group of 20 pupils who only attend a regular schooling of physical education (control group). The aim of investigation was to determine effects of specially programmed training intended for improving agility and flexibility within the school of skiing at the examinees of experimental group. Ten tests were applied in estimate of motor abilities which define: 1. agility ( envelope test, side steps, eight with bending, polygon backwards and dexterity ) and 2. flexibility ( bend to the right, bend, roll touch, bend astride, deep bend on bench and lateral split ). Results of the multivariant analysis of covariance proved that experimental group of examinees are stastically significantly defferent in their higher level of agility and flexibility from the control group examinees.
