Abstract :Abstract The research is aimed at studying some components of coordination abilities – coordination in rhythm and agility among 72 students from Coach Department of the NSA "Vassil Levski” in Sofia. Four tests were used to assess the coordination in rhythm ( Frontal feet and hands hitting against a wall , Feet and hands hitting ( in a corner ), Jumps in four squares , Cross jumps in four squares ) and two tests for assessment of agility (Sideward running 10x5 meters, "T” test). The results from the tests – Jumps in four squares and Cross jumps in four squares – correlate to a great extend with the gymnasts ( . 707** ) and moderately with the athletes practicing other kinds of sports. The results from the tests for agility correlate with gymnasts to a great extent ( . 702**) , and moderately with the athletes practicing other kinds of sports 684**) . The coefficients of correlation with the tests for agility do not show any dependence on the tests for coordination in rhythm with both groups of subjects.Keywords : coordination, rhythmic gymnastics, other sports
