Rhythmic gymnastics is one of the sports that educates one of the basic components of physical beauty, also falling into the category of technical-combination sports. Achieving a high performance in rhythmic gymnastics is a complex process, which requires a comprehensive approach to the development of motor qualities and specific skills. In particular, two fundamental motor qualities, addressed in the paper, are essential for achieving success in this discipline: joint mobility and muscle elasticity, as well as coordination of body segments. Thus, through the appropriate introduction and implementation of specific exercises in the rhythmic gymnastics training of performance athletes, we highlighted the importance, the beneficial and essential effect in improving sports performance. The purpose of the research is to evaluate and analyze the impact of the means used in training on the development of mobility and coordination of gymnasts. The obtained results underline the positive influence of exercises on sportswomen's performances and through the planning and proper implementation of exercises in training, a holistic and sustainable development of athletes in their sports activities can be ensured.
