This paper presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of a comprehensive physical education programme implemented in a preschool setting. The relevance of this topic stems from the need to improve approaches to the physical education of preschool children, a stage at which the foundations of physical fitness are established and basic motor abilities begin to develop. During the pedagogical experiment, participants were divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). Both groups attended physical education sessions three times per week, with each session lasting 25 minutes. The control group followed the Standard Curriculum for Preschool Education and Training of the Republic of Kazakhstan, whereas the experimental group followed a specially developed comprehensive programme that included targeted play-based exercises aimed at developing key physical qualities, namely speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. At the beginning and end of the intervention, the physical fitness levels of children in both groups were assessed using 10 standardized tests covering the main indicators of preschoolers’ physical development. The dynamics of the results obtained in both groups are presented and analysed. Comparative analysis revealed significantly greater improvements in physical fitness indicators among children in the experimental group than among those in the control group. The most pronounced improvements in the EG were observed in tests of flexibility and general coordination. The findings confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed comprehensive programme and support its implementation in preschool physical education practice.
