The purpose of the research was to determine which type of motor activities optimal effect on motor efficiency in preschoolers. The sample included 85 children, aged 63,2 months (± 1.5 months), 58.8% boys and 41.2% girls. The children were divided into 4 groups, depending on which of organized physical activity they attended twice a week. Climbing was attended by 28,2 %, 21,2 % attended general training, 22,4 % judo and 28,2 % of children had not attended any organized physical exercise. The sample of variables constituted of test MOT 4-6, which measures the motor efficiency and is standardized for the Slovenian population of 5,5 year old children. They were tested before attending the training session and after a half year. The sample included only those children who exercise regularly. Data were analyzed with the statistical program SPSS, version 22. We used descriptive statistics, comparative statistics, T-test for independent samples, one-way analysis of variance (Welch) and Games-Howell post hoc. We checked the statistical significance at 5 percent risk level (p <0.05). The results showed that all children, after six months of attending workouts, regardless the type of exercise, achieve significantly better results in the test MOT 4-6 from children who organized additional exercise did not attend. We found out that for the motor efficiency of preschool child is not important type of organized physical activity, but the fact that exercise is systematically organized, managed, sufficiently frequent and intense. Children who did not attend any organized exercise achieved significantly worse results on the test.
