Popis: In the Croatian high school system, students can attend the same school, but, based on their cognitive abilities, they may be assigned to a regular or an adapted study program. The basic assumption is that students differ predominantly based on their cognitive rather than motor abilities. Therefore, their motor abilities are evaluated through the same battery of motor tests. The aim of this study is to evaluate the metric characteristics of the tests used to evaluate motor abilities of high school students enrolled in an adapted study program, and to compare their results with the results of students engaged in the standard curriculum. The sample consisted of 28 high school students, 14 students in the adapted teaching program (experimental group P) and 14 students in the regular teaching program (control group R). The motor tests were used to assess their muscular endurance, explosive strength, coordination, and flexibility. Normality of distribution was checked by using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (KS), while the data processing also included factor analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficient and the t-test for independent samples. The level of statistical significance was set at p
