Anthropometric characteristic and motor skills, are very important in the result of the athletic discipline - 1500m. The aim of this research was to determine the impact and differences in morphological characteristics and motor skills in athletic discipline 1500m., at both generations of students at the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports and Health. In a sample of 100 respondents, consisted of full-time second year students at the age of 20 years with ± of 6 months at the Faculty of Physical Education Sport and Health in Skopje. divided into two groups 50 respondents in both generations surveyed - 2016 and 2018, research has been done. Methods: In our research for assessment of the morphological structure of the respondents, 12 morphological variables were used, and 5 motor variables for assessment of psychomotor abilities. The athletic discipline - 1500m. is used as a criterion variable. Results: From the obtained results of the regression analysis, we noticed that the morphological variables have a significant impact on the criterion variable - 1500m. only in the first group of participants - 2016 generation (Q=.007). Regarding the motor skills that were the subject of analysis in our research, we found that all five motor variables used as a test to test their abilities have a significant impact as a system on the criterion variable - 1500m. (Q=.000). According to the multivariate (MANOVA) and univariate analysis (ANOVA) of the results of both groups of entities, we noticed that both groups of respondents differ in their morphological characteristics and biomotor abilities (Q=.000). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained from the applied research procedure, we came to the conclusion that the morphological structure of the respondents has a significant role in achieving greater heigth in athletic discipline - 1500m. In terms of motor skills, we came to the conclusion that students should use the motor tests that were used in the research in the preparation phase, in order to be able to successfully meet the norm and achieve better results in the discipline - 1500m. The differences between the respondents would be smaller if they pay more attention to the preparation for the fulfillment of the norm in this athletic discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research has been done in a sample of 94 respondents, consisted of full-time second year students at the age of 20 years with ± of 6 months at the Faculty of Physical Education Sport and Health in Skopje, divided in two groups of 47 respondents in both generations surveyed - 2013/14 and 2014/15. Respondents from both generations regularly attended athletics classes, meaning they had passed the methodology and technique of 15 athletic disciplines. To accomplish the purpose of the research, 15 athletic disciplines divided into two colloquiums, athletic pentathlon and five athletic disciplines for the exam in June were used. The practical part of the exam is the remaining 5 athletic disciplines, but also those disciplines that did not pass in both colloquiums. The results of the two generations of respondents are first processed with descriptive statistics - minimum, maximum score, central value, standard deviation and skewness and cortisone graphical representation of the results. The grades for each discipline of each respondent are processed, as well as the final assessment of the practical part. Based on the multivariate analysis on the results of both groups of entities we can conclude that both groups of respondents differ in their biomotor abilities which in this research are analyzed through motor variables which are of great importance for the successful completion of the practical part of the subject athletics. The differences between the respondents would be smaller if they paid more attention to the preparation for the practical exam. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a sample of 100 respondents, population special forces, divided into two groups, 50 respondents made a study of motor abilities as part of the program structure to carry out the unit. Candidates are extracted according to an open competition for the needs of the state institutions. To accomplish the set goal in the research, five tests for motor skills testing were applied, four variables for assessing motor skills, the fifth variable is the criterion for determining the impact of motor variables expressed in points for each motor test. The results of the motor tests were firstly processed with descriptive statistics, where the measures of the central tendency for the two sample respondents were presented. With the application of multivariate methods for data analysis, differences between candidates were identified, and the influence of psychomotor variables was determined as predictors on the criterion variable points, which are decisive for admission to the state institutions of the Republic of Macedonia. The results show that the candidates differ greatly in psychomotor abilities, although our expectations were that the respondents would not show greater differences, because it is natural when they compete in such institutions that they will prepare to successfully pass the test. We can conclude that they have not paid more attention to prepare or have applied candidates with poor motor skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a sample of 160 respondents, population special forces, divided into two subsamples of 80 respondents made a study of motor abilities as part of the program structure to carry out the unit. In this research were isolated two motor variables - push-ups and abdominal muscles, which test the strength of the biceps and the muscles of the abdomen. The research included a descriptive method, classification of frequencies of the motor performance and a determination of the impact of the criterion on prognostic variables.From the results of the descriptive statistics, we can conclude that the first sub sample is better or possess improved motor skills, unlike the second sub samples that were randomly divided into two groups of 80 subjects.The results of the analysis in both regressive sub sample show statistical significance that motor variables as significant prognostic influence criteria can vary, which tells us that the points scale evaluates the results better and is a good representative as a criteria for achieved results.As a general conclusion of the survey respondents in both subsamples, we can conclude that most of the officers are in good physical preparation.

The objective of this research was to compare the diagonal stride and the double pole cross-country skiing techniques. The two chosen techniques are the alternatives used by professional cross-country skiers. The methodology was formed so that we would be able to compare altogether the 26 measurements undergone by the 7 subjects. In order to determine the significance of the differences between lactate levels after finishing the section by means of the diagonal stride and by means of double pole cross-country skiing, the Paired-Samples T Test (t, α = 0.05) was used. For the calculation of the effect size, we used Cohen’s d coefficient. The statistical analysis was carried out IBM® SPSS® Statistics V19 software. We found the statistically and materially significant differences between the average lactate values one minute after finishing the section. After the section was completed in the diagonal stride manner, 10.24 mmol.l-1 values were measured, whereas by using the double pole technique, the lactate level was 7.75 mmol.l-1,which confirmed both the statistically and materially significant differences (p<0.05, or Cohen’s d=2.15 (r=0.73)). However, we did not find any materially or statistically significant differences in the time results. Our research shows that at the comparable speed of the racer, from the point of view of energy coverage, the double pole technique seems to be more effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In our research we deal with the impact of a triathlon wetsuit on Physical Education students in the 100m freestyle. Four students underwent testing with an average height of 182cm (± 2cm) and an average weight of 80kg (± 3kg), corresponding to the size of the wetsuits worn. The wetsuits worn were Aquaspare Pursuit trade mark made in 2011 and 2012. Wetsuits were 4mm thick. We employed a Polar V800 sports watch to evaluate pulse frequency values. The testing was carried out over two different days. The first test date included swimming in a 100m freestyle without a wetsuit. After a twenty-minutes break it was followed by swimming at the same distance, but this time wearing a triathlon wetsuit. In the second test date, swimming was practiced in a reverse order. First swimming with the use of triathlon wetsuit took place and then, after a twenty-minute break, it was followed without the wetsuit. Using the Pearson Correlation in the first testing we obtained the coefficient 0.988 (p<0.05). According to Cohen (1988) it represents a considerable dependence on wetsuit swimming. The second test showed a similar result with the coefficient 0.959 (p<0.05). Based on these results we could claim that swimming when wearing a wetsuit is faster than without one. This means that wearing a triathlon wetsuit improves the swimmer performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a sample of 160 respondents from the special forces, a study of the motor abilities was conducted as part of the program structured to be performed by the unit. In this research procedure, one motor variable of the pull-up was selected, with which the strength of the upper limbs was tested. The research included a descriptive method, classification of frequencies of the motor performance and a determination of the impact of the criterion on prognostic variables. From the results of the descriptive statistics, we can conclude that the respondents who performed the variable pull-up, unlike variable points, show less difference in the results, which shows the standard deviations, and means that the participants show greater success in the variable pull-up on a shaft. But, through an analysis of this variable, it can be concluded that the average of 12 pull-ups is a solid preparedness. The results of the regressive analysis show that the statistical significance on the motor variables have a significant prognostic influence on the criteria variable, which tells us that the scale with points will evaluate the results better and that it is a good representative for the criteria of the achieved results. As a general conclusion of the surveyed respondents, we can conclude that most of the officers are in good physical preparedness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Morphological space as only one segment of the human space of a man is often the subject of analysis, when one wants to determine the state of the somatic status of certain population. On a sample of 180 male students, of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Eastern Sarajevo using longitudinal research methods, diagnosis of the basic anthropometric characteristics has been made in the function of monitoring the differences of somatic changes, of four different generations from 2008 to 2012 with the aim of determining the differences in the basic anthropometric characteristics. Anthropometric characteristics of the subjects were presented with the following variables: body height expressed in cm, body mass expressed in kg, and body-mass index (BMI), expressed in kg/m². The obtained results showed that in the students of Faculty of physical education and sports during the four-year period, a statistically significant trend differences occurred that have defined substantial heterogeneity of the population. In analyzing the data, using the T-test, the obtained results significantly explain differences in anthropometric characteristics at the level of significance (p<0.01) and for Body Height (T=2.70), Body Weight (T=3.55), BMI (T=1,98). Based on the obtained results, it can be safely argued that the process of growth and development of the student population that enters the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport is heterogeneous and that it is the result of numerous endogenous-exogenous factors during the maturation of an individual.

Anthropological space is very important and primary in the selection, targeting and achieving results in sport. This is particularly apparent in professional sport where remarkable results are achieved. Depending on the sport, sport discipline also depends on the participation and influence of human space, or its segments to the total score. When describing and defining specific populations of athletes, their morphological status, the most common parameters that are taken are body height, body weight, body mass index, and very often the age of the respondents. These parameters are very reliable and give a true picture of the morphological area of??the studied population. This paper analyzes the differences in the segments of human space of jumpers, the finalists of the Beijing Olympics. The sample included 32 competitors in four jumping disciplines. Differences in body height, body weight, BMI and age were analyzed. For data processing T-test has been conducted for small independent samples that confirmed the presence of statistically significant body height differences between long jump and triple jump (t=-2,747*) and long jump and high jump (t=-2,280*).
