The development of motor skills is an important aspect of children's growth, affecting physical skills, muscle coordination, and daily activities. In elementary school, motor development influences children's academic and social abilities. Rhythmic gymnastics is a structured physical activity that can enhance children's motor skills, such as strength, balance, and coordination. This study examines the application of rhythmic gymnastics to improve gross motor skills in elementary school students using literature review and digital research methods. The purpose of this research is to study the impact of rhythmic gymnastics on children's motor development through a literary research approach. The methodology used is a literature review that includes a critical analysis of various academic sources such as journals, books, and relevant articles. The results of the study indicate that rhythmic gymnastics can significantly improve children's gross and fine motor skills. Rhythmic gymnastics activities involving rhythmic movements, coordination, and balance contribute positively to children's physical and cognitive development. Furthermore, rhythmic gymnastics has also been proven effective in enhancing children's social and emotional aspects through enjoyable and structured group activities. These results highlight the importance of incorporating rhythmic gymnastics into the elementary school curriculum to support the development of gross motor skills.

Exercise is a body movement carried out by muscles in a planned, structured and repetitive manner, which involves the use of energy to improve fitness.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), school age children are children aged 7 to 15 years.  Every individual has traits and characteristics or innate characteristics and characteristics obtained from environmental influences.  The research method used in this research is descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach.  This research uses a qualitative approach.  Physical activity is an important aspect in the lives of elementary school age children.  Elementary school age children still have limitations in terms of body endurance and ability to adapt to heavy training loads.  Primary school age children are in a dynamic stage of development, so there is a need for specially designed training programs to increase their motivation and participation in physical activity.  In this way, the benefits of physical activity can be maximized and support optimal growth and development for elementary school students.  This collaborative effort will help create an environment that supports an active and healthy lifestyle from an early age.
