The success in volleyball certainly depends on the morphological characteristics of the formed volleyball players, of which the basic body height and weight, which can be valorized in view of the current age of volleyball players (Marelić et al, 2008). As in all sports activities, as well as volleyball, no technical element can not be performed without adequate motor abilities and fully manifested without rational techniques of performing motion. The aim of this research is to determine whether there is a stati¬sti¬ca¬lly significant correlation between certain anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities in relation to the agility of an isolated motor abilities that are the subject of this research. Methods: In a sample of 16 selected girls aged 14 to 16 years (cadet age) participating in the camp Becej 2006, were measured two anthropometric mea¬su¬res for evaluation of morphological characteristics, three tests for evaluation of motor abi¬lities (both as predictor) and two tests for assessing agility (as criterion). The influ¬en¬ce of some anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities on agility in young fe¬male volleyball players lities was performed by regression analysis. Results: It can be con¬cluded that the system applied predictor variables showed no statistically sig¬ni¬fi¬cant association with variable Japan test, while the variable Jelka test a statistically sig¬ni¬ficant correlation. Discussion: Based on the overall analysis of the obtained re¬sults it was discovered that the explosive power (long jump from the place) and the speed of individual movements (hand tapping) have a high level of correlation with agi¬lity were detected in female volleyball players, which is based on previous research (Vu¬kovic, 1989) was and expected. Similar results were also other researchers (Webb and Lander, 1983; Negrete and Brophy, 2000).

An interdisciplinary approach to solving the problem of dealing with top tennis is becoming increasingly a requirement for further development and planning of the sport, because without cooperation with other sciences, comparing results between groups and individuals, there is no possibility of achieving top results (Roetert, 2003). The aim of the research is to determine the difference between a tennis player Wawrinka and Nadal finalist of Australian Open in 2014 in the singlel competition. Methods: A sample of entities represented the seven matches and their statistics for the two tennis players, Wawrinka and Nadal with the last Australian Open is played open in tennis men’s single competition. As a sample of observed parameters given of the 12 statistical indicators. Statistically significant difference between the two tennis players was analyzed by t-test. Results: Based on the analyzed parameters can be concluded that statistically significant differences in parameter Number of achieved aces, where Wawrinka was on average better for a little over nine aces per game (9.27 aces), in parameter Number of winners in the match, he was better for an average of 22.5 winners, while Nadal average was better in the parameter Percent of the loaded first service for 11.67% compared to Wawrinka. Discussion: Results of the research are somewhat consistent with the results of research carried out where it was determined that the statistical differences between the winners and losers are reflected in the following variables: the number of total points won, the number of unforced errors, the number of won winners, and there was no statistically significant difference in the variable number of double faults (Klassen et al, 2001).

Plyometrics is a training method that uses an overload (Chu, 1983), and the main purpose of plyometric training is the development of greater reactive force (Allerheiligen & Rogers, 1995). Sports physiologists agree that plyometrics includes specific exercises that cause significant stretching of muscles located below the eccentric contraction, and followed by a strong concentric contraction, which is used for the development of a strong movement in a short period of time (LaChance, 1995). The aim of the research is to identify and analyze the transformative effects of plyometric exercise program on the manifest dimension of strength, agility and speed running experimental group of players. Methods: The sample consisted of 50 players were aged 17.5 years (± 6 months), who were divided into two groups. One group consisted of 25 tennis players TK “Gemaks” from Belgrade who represented the experimental group, while the second group included 25 tennis players TK “AS” from Belgrade who represented the control group. For evaluation of motor abilities used 4 tests. In order to determine differences between groups of respondents in the initial and final measurement was applied univariate analysis of variance. In order to determine the effect of training programs between the two tests was applied univariate analysis of covariance. Results: This research has proven that plyometric training, which was applied to a group of tennis players from Belgrade for a period of three months, youth ages contributed to improving their motor abilities, primarily explosive strength and agility. Discussion: Practice plyometric program combined with regular training for the development and improvement of techniques tennis game showed excellent results in order to improve the explosive leg strength, agility tennis players eksperimenatlne groups, and proved to be positive in working with junior tennis players ages. Research have shown that the development of explosive energy efficient stimulus muscle strain in the so-called. “Primetime” regime of strain that was applied through plyometric training tennis players experimental groups (Bacic et al, 2006).

Fencing is very dynamic and combative sport, with the following requirements of competitors: instant resourcefulness, precision, courage and fast reaction in different situations. It is just for this reason that the training of young fencers involves improvement of all motor abilities focusing on agility, speed, and explosive strength. The aim of this research is to determine gender-related differences of motor abilities in children engaged in fencing. The sample consists of 50 children (26 boys and 24 girls) whose average age is 10.46 years and, who train fencing in the “Omladinac” in Zrenjanin and “Vojvodina” in Novi Sad. Motor abilities are tested by means of four motor tests. Differences are determined using multivariate analysis of variance and univariate analysis of variance. The findings indicate that there is statistically significant difference related to Deep forward bend on the bench and T-test, which is in favor of girls, Long jump test from the standing start in favor of boys, whereas Tapping test does not show any significant difference between boys and girls. Numerous research works show that early maturing girls have better results of motor performance than those with a slower process of maturation (11-13 years), whereas individual differences in terms of motor performance depend on growth and development, especially in boys. Matching of results is related to the observed statistically significant differences in explosive strength in favor of boys and suppleness in favor of girls.

Introduction: Tennis is polistructural activity acyclic type of movement. A large number of movement structures and situations in a tennis game (technical and tactical variants) indicates that the success of players determined by the level and structure of a large number of motor abilities, knowledge and qualities, of which some can be measured and analyzed. The measurement of these abilities and traits allows better planning, programming and control of the training process and to improve the sports form. The aim of the research was directed to determining the differences in motor abilities, of different sexes. Methods: The sample of 51 subjects aged 7 years (± 6 months), of which 23 boys and 28 girls tennis school participants TC "Palic" from Palic, carried out the measurement of motor abilities. The sample tests consisted of 12 tests: backward polygon, polygon with skipping and swiping, bat quickness, shooting horizontal objectives handed, shooting in the frame, target stick, keeping the ball with his hand, refusing racquet balls, fans, precision small vertical specific objectives, specific precision large vertical target, the specific objectives of the horizontal accuracy. Differences in motor abilities tennis players of different sexes was determined by using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: On the basis of the research it can be concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between boys and girls in terms of treated motor abilities. Discussion: Tennis is characterized by a very large number of different techniques strokes and movements, which are mostly performed at maximum speed for a long time, and it is logical that the success in tennis affects a larger number of motor skills (Zmajić, 2003). Development of speed, agility and explosiveness is very important for success in a tennis game, because tennis game consists of a number of different explosive reaction to a variety of changes in the situation (McCarthy, 1998).

Introduction: When talking about the disease in the first place are heart disease-coronary artery disease, wherein there is a narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Active lifestyle can slow, stop and even reverse the process of atherosclerosis. In this regard, it is known that increasing the inactivity of a 35 % risk of developing hypertension, and subjects who are in poor physical condition are 52% greater risk of the disease than those who are in good shape (Sharkey & Gaskill, 2008). The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in body composition of women dealing with the combined group fitness programs compared to women who engaged in practicing the Pilates method. Methods: The sample consisted of females aged 30 to 50 years. The total sample in the study consisted of 130 subjects from the territory of Novi Sad. Physically active group consisted of 84 respondents, who were divided into two groups . The first group includes 34 women who exercised twice weekly Pilates for a period of one hour , for a period of one year. The second group consisted of 50 subjects who actively exercised at a fitness club "World Class," at least a year, combining a variety of group programs, at least three times a week. The range of training duration was from 30 to 60 minutes. The third group consisted of a sample of 46 subjects who did not engage in any physical activity. Results: The results it was concluded that the subjects who were involved in the combined training group have lower values of body mass index, fat mass and percentage fat mass in total body composition of women who exercised only one group program, or Pilates, and women who not engage in any recreational activity. Discussion: In current practice were determined effects of aerobics on morphological characteristics and functional abilities of trainees have, where they are statistically significant differences in body mass index and fat mass in favor of a person dealing with aerobics, which is the more common form of recreational exercise (Stojiljkovic et al, 2005). Regarding the influence of Pilates exercise on body composition, the results are divided. In a study where overweight women practiced this method for eight weeks, four times a week, there was a reduction of fat in the body (Cakmakci, 2011). References: Cakmakci, O. (2011).

Introduction: Football as a complete sport that is rich in a wide variety of possible movements classified in polistructural, sports complex. To be a football player was able to perform tasks football has, among other things, and have the necessary level of motor abilities that can be achieved only through systematic implementation of training physical training. The aim of this research was to determine the differences in some of the motor abilities between the two researched groups. Methods: In a sample of 196 subjects average age of 12.45 ± 0.03 years, made a comparison of motor abilities. The first group consisted of 82 players - Pioneers FC "Red Star" from Belgrade and the other 114 primary school pupils from Novi Sad. A sample of 9 tests of motor abilities were: long jump from the place, running 20 m, 60 m running, bend straddle the gray, endurance in pull-ups, polygon backwards, slalom with three balls, hand tapping and lifting troops. Comparison of motor abilities of young players and pupils of primary schools was carried out by using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: An analysis of motor abilities between young players and primary school pupils were found statistically significant differences in all tested variables. Discussion: The research has shown that speed, endurance, coordination and muscle strength of the lower leg predominantly responsible for the success of matching the target foot at a distance, which is an integral part of the training process (Smajic and Molnar, 2007). It is also proven that there is a statistically significant correlation between the explosive and repetitive strength as a predictor of outcome-success rate for jumping in the air at youth players (Stankovic, 2011).

Allowed stimulating means of recovery are considered substances and physiological processes that act through the increase in performance athletes and to more efficient recovery and improvement of sports results, which are very difficult to achieve the usual training methods of training, and it can be considered useful until used as a supplement to training. If the rational use, it significantly increases the resistance of the organism in Training athletes and competition loads and favorably affect the elimination of general and local fatigue. The aim of the research consists of testing and analyzing the attitudes of different sports experience on the allowed means of stimulating recovery. The sample of examinees consists of 120 footballers of different sports experience (I group (62) – 4-8 years of sports experience, II group (58) – 9-14 years of sports experience). The sample of variables consists of the system of 10 attitudes (claims), and each attitude (claim) consists of 5 verbal categories (marked from -2 to +2). To determine multivariate and univariate significance of differences between footballers of different competition ranks multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) have been applied. Generally it can be concluded that players with less experience attach less importance to some of the allowed recovery stimulus, and that the level of information increases with sports experience.

Good knowledge of athletes and their abilities, that achieve superior results may be a landmark and milestone in what direction should be focused on selection and training process. The various disciplines determine the development of various motor abilities, and be for each sport to define their standards. Motor abilities are subject to weather changes, due to which standards have limited time. "Ideal team" is a set of best individuals in the starting lineup in a given season competition. The aim of this research was to perform the difference between "ideal teams" two generation of footballers in motor abilities. The sample comprised 54 players age 23.74 years, who are members of FK Vojvodina Novi Sad divided into two groups. The first group consists of 26 players aged 24.57±2,55 years from the season 2004/2005, while the second group of 28 players aged 22.96±2,86 years from the season 2010/2011. Sample measures for the evaluation of motor abilities are: deep forward bend, Abalakov test, push-ups and raising troops. To determine the difference between the two groups of players applied the t-test. Based on the conducted this study show that the two groups of respondents players statistically significantly different only in the test deep forward bend on the bench and better overall results achieved less more successful generation of footballers.

Training exercises of recovery of sportsmen include both exercises implying higher level of training and exercises of optimal recovery of sportsmen. In order to use training exercises of recovery best way it is necessary to know how they react to the body of a sportsman concerning their character and length. It is also necessary to take into consideration the fact that human body adapts equally both to burden and adequate recovery exercises. To increase the efficiency of training exercises of recovery it is inevitable to use different exercises and methods changing their use, that is, they should be applied in a complex way considering their change depending on sport activities and structure of training process. The aim of the study is to check and analyse attitudes of football players of different age on training exercises of recovery. The sample of examinees consists of 120 players from nine different clubs from the area-level competition of the Football Association of Vojvodina (Serbian Super League = 43, first division = 40 Serbian and Serbian league = 37), which were divided into two groups according to age (group I (65 ) - 18-25 years age group II (55) - over 25 years of age). The sample of variables consists of the system of 10 attitudes (claims), and each attitude (claim) consists of 5 verbal categories (marked from -2 to +2). To determine the significance of differences between players of different ages multivariate analysis of variance were used (MANOVA), univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), discriminative analysis and Roy’s test. All sample of examinees is unique in a larger number attitudes towards the training exercises of recovery, determined statistical differences can be attributed to a better understanding of the recovery process by a group of older players.

Good knowledge of athletes and their abilities, that achieve superior results may be a landmark and milestone in what direction should be focused on selection and training process. The various disciplines determine the development of various motor abilities, and be for each sport to define their standards. Motor abilities are subject to weather changes, due to which standards have limited time. The aim of this research was to perform comparative analysis of motor abilities of two generations of football players. The sample comprised 54 players age 23.74 years, who are members of FK Vojvodina Novi Sad divided into two groups. The first group consists of 26 players aged 24.57±2,55 years from the season 2004/2005, while the second group of 28 players aged 22.96±2,86 years from the season 2010/2011. Sample measures for the evaluation of morphological characteristics are: deep forward bend, Abalakov test, push-ups and raising troops. To determine the difference between the two groups of players applied the t-test. Two generations of football players tested, do not differentiate the average value of any variable applied but there was a tendency for the football players second groups showed generally higher values in all tests.

Research was performed on the sample of 64 matches of the World Cup FIFA World Cup Germany 2006 and 128 results of matches classified in three wholes, according to the results: victory, defeat and draw. Analysis was carried out in relation to the element of game break during a match. The basic aim of the research was to carry out the analysis of differences in frequency of game breaks during a match. On the basis of the obtained results and their interpretation, the following conclusions may proceed: • Analysis of game breaks inferred to the fact that disqualification of a player (red card), then total number of offside, and much lower number of own goals affect the result of a match significantly; • This leads to a conclusion that the winning teams achieved lower number of public warnings (yellow cards) and disqualification of players (red cards), which means that teams were psycho-physically and technique-tactically were prepared to prevent an opponent in the defense phase from organizing an attack and scoring a goal; Based on the above we may define the basic characteristics of games of the winning teams, teams who ended their matches in a draw, and defeated teams

In structure football is very complicated and complex activity. Today's level of development of football game requires of players a high level and rhythm of the game, excellent physical condition, high technical standards in motion that depend on many motor skills. Various beginnings of movement, acceleration, stopping at high speed, changing direction, jumping, ball hitting are the most common movings in which explosive power of players is exhibited. Observing the activities of the game, players need most, the form of power, which is reflected in the shortest possible interval, ie. explosive strength. The study aims to determine the difference in explosive strength of legs of footballers of cadet category. The sample consisted of 60 players, divided into two groups of 30 subjects, aged 15 ± 1 years. One group was composed of Serbian national team and the other football players of FC ‘Vojvodina’ from Novi Sad. Sample tests consisted of six tests, as follows: running speed of 10 meters from a standing start, running speed 20 meters from a standing start, running speed 30 meters from a standing start, a jump up from the spot, standing long jump and triple jump. To examine whether statistically significant differences between groups of players we used t-test for two independent groups. Generally it can be concluded that there was a statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups of respondents in favor of the representatives of Serbi

Illegal stimulant use is considered a recovery or giving athletes a substance that artificially affects the improvement of physical and psychological condition of athletes and thus increase their success in sport. Consumption of materials that a healthy body can synthesize as hormones (testosterone, cortisone, growth hormone, etc.) falls under 164 CRNOGORSKA SPORTSKA AKADEMIJA, „Sport Mont“ časopis br. 31,32,33. the concept of doping. Doping substances by their chemical composition and effect on the body of an athlete are different. The study aims to examine the attitudes of players of different ages on illegal stimulants of recovery. The sample comprised 120 players from nine different clubs from the area-level competition of the Football Association of Vojvodina (Serbian Super League = 43, first division = 40 Serbian and Serbian league = 37), which were divided into two groups according to age (group I (65 ) - 18-25 years age group II (55) - over 25 years of age). The sample of variables constitutes a system of 10 items (statements), and each paragraph (the claim) has five verbal categories. To determine the significance of differences between players of different ages multivariate analysis of variance were used (MANOVA), univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), discriminative analysis, Roy’s test, Pearson's coefficient of contingency (χ) and coefficient of multiple correlation (R). In general terms it can be concluded that the players of different ages do not differ and are unique to the approval of the proposed positions.

The subject sample of 240 boys aged 7-14 was divided to two subsamples of 120 boys each (active participants of “ЯMR Vojvodina” football school since the age of 7, and boys involved in sports, who regularly attended classes of physical education at school). The sample was subjected to 11 tests for evaluation of specific–motor abilities. The purpose of this research was to determine whether there are or there are not any differences in specific- motor abilities of subjects of the same age depending whether they play any sport or not. Analysis of results processed by discriminative analysis showed that the boys who attended football school achieved much better results in tests for evaluation of specific motor abilities than the boys who did not. At the age of 7-8, the differences can be attributed to efficient selection rather than the program contents due to the fact that they are beginners, whereas at older ages, these differences, being even higher in boys doing sports, can be attributed to the effects of program contents in the football school.

This research was aimed at gaining relevant knowledge about important differences with respect to body composition of the football players of different rank competitions. The sample included 425 respondents, divided into three subsample groups. The first subsample group was comprised of 368 respondents who were attending EUROS 2008; the second subsample group was comprised of 26 respondents who practice football at a Football Club “Vojvodina” from Novi Sad, while the third subsample included 31 respondents who play football only recreationally. The sample of variables contained: ages, body height, body mass, Ideal Body Mass and Body Mass Index. The results of the measuring were analyzed by multivariate analysis (MANOVA) and univariate analysis (ANOVA). Based on the results it was concluded that significant differences occur in multivariate level, as well as between next variables: ages, body mass and Body Mass Index at a significance level of p=.05.

The area of technical-tactical activities is very interesting and unexplored, especially because the game from year to year changes faster. The aim of this research is to perform analysis of different forms of shots in football (in the official statistics) and their association with outcomes of football matches at the World Cup 2006. in Germany (FIFA World Cup Germany 2006.). The sample consists of observations of 64 games played at the World Cup 2006. in Germany. Sample characteristics are elements of games that are leading the official statistics, which is promoted for all FIFA competitions that take place under its auspices, including the World Championships. Of five elements for analysis was selected four. Based on the analysis set forth can be concluded that the team winning the game stands out significantly in all analyzed characteristics in relation to the game the team with a score draw or a defeat where the difference is less. All teams that have achieved the victory had offensive tactics or were technically dominant in relation to the opponent.

Morphological characteristics are very important for the realization of situational - motor structure of sports events. They are the biomechanical basis, as factors that facilitate or hamper the performance of the task. Our aim was to determine the relationship of morphological characteristics and situational - motor skills in football. The sample consisted of 155 students the first and second year of study Faculty of Physical Education and Sports University in Tuzla, aged 19 to 22 years. The sample measures and tests consisted of 20 morphological measures and 9 tests for the evaluation of situational - motor abilities. Results showed that the morphological characteristics affecting the majority of situational - motor tasks, but their influence vary by the size and direction. Research data provide information that can be used in the selection, forecasts, as well as planning and programming of training in football.

There were many researches about the influence of training process to the development of motoric abilities all around the world and in our country, too. However, there were much less researches about the influence of breaks to the development of the same abilities. The object of this research was the influence of summer break to development of motoric abilities to the boys in a football school “RMR Vojvodina”. The main goal of this research represented the derivation some knowledge about the influence of summer break to some motoric abilities. Next to the object and main goal of this research, there were some tasks which had to be done to got the main goal: the first task was measurement of some motoric abilities at the end of the training process, then the second task was measurement of same motoric abilities after summer break, then reviewing all attained results and identification the influence of break to development specified motoric abilities. The sample was taken from 40 boys aged 10 years old and the authors used the battery of eight motoric tests as variables (Radosav, Molnar, Smajić, 2003). The data was collected by t-test and it was concluded there were a significant difference of means in three variables.

In order to increase aerobic capacity and the level of endurance while running it is neccessary to apply efficient methods for increasing abilities already mentioned. One of the ways which gradually introduces those who exercise into the practise is to set the tempo of running at a level 20% higher than the current abilities for the whole lenght of a distance , and the lenght of the running sections should be about 20 % of the entire lenght of the distance. Total amount of the running sections should be 20 % longer than the lenght of the entire distance. The lenght of each section should be gradually increased , and breakes should be gradually decreased. The speed of running is obtained and those who exercise are adapted to the tempo of running , which results in rapid development of the adaptation to increased efforts. This makes possible to achieve statisticly significant increasement of endurance in running 800 meters in a short period of time , in just four weeks , with three trainings per week. The advantage of this model is that it could be used for rapid increasement of running endurance in number of sport disciplines.

Based on a research carried out on the sample of 256 football players at the age of 10-12, using a 20-test battery for evaluation of basic motor abilities, and according to factor analysis, it may generally be concluded that five latent dimensions of structure of basic motor abilities have been isolated, which have been named as: FACTOR OF SPEED-POWER STAMINA, FACTOR OF SPEED OF ALTERNATIVE MOVEMENTS OF LOWER EXTREMITIES AND REPETITIVE STRENGTH OF ARMS, SHOULDERS AND STOMACH MUSCLES, FACTOR OF SUPPLENESS, FACTOR OF STATIC BALANCE, FACTOR OF DYNAMIC BALANCE AND AGILITY

According to the research on the sample of 256 footballers aged 10-12 and the battery including 20 tests for evaluation of the basic motor abilities and the battery of 24 tests for evaluation of specifi c preciseness, and as per canonic-correlation analysis, a general conclusion can be reached that the boys were rather different in their basic motor abilities. The differences were especially high in explosive strength, coordination, aerobic endurance and balance. One could also conclude that the sample treated in this manner (10-12 years of age) is very heterogeneous with respect to basic motor abilities. The subjects showed the highest homogeneity in the tests of specifi c preciseness. They also achieved particularly good results in the tests of vertical target hitting by leg and head. Considering the relations of the basic motor abilities and specifi c preciseness, it was concluded that the structure-based basic motor-canonic factor might be interpreted as FACTOR OF SPEED ENDURANCE AND EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH, whereas structurebased canonic factor of specifi c preciseness might be interpreted as the FACTOR OF SPECIFIC PRECISENESS OF VERTICAL TARGET HITTING BY LEG AND HEAD. The structure of the relations of the fi rst pair of canonic factors indicates that footballers with lower speed endurance and lower explosive strength achieved poorer results in the tests of specifi c preciseness of vertical target hitting by leg and head, and vice versa. Structure of the relations of the second canonic factor indicates quite clearly that the footballers with lower repetitive strength achieved lower results in the tests of specifi c preciseness of horizontal and vertical target by leg and head in a newly created situation. Here of course, the opposite was true, i.e. footballers with higher repetitive strength were better in these tests too.

Importance of physical education and its placment in the educational system are known for along period of time. Many resreaches have been conducted in order to determine the extent towhich physical education positively influences students. Results of some studies show thatphysical education classes are unsatisfactory and inappropriate, given the circumstances- ageand individual skills of students, their needs and interests (Arunovic, 1978; Visnjic, 1983;Krsmanovic, 1988, 1995). Main reasons for ineficinet physical education classes can be foundin the bad concept of modelling teaching syllabuses and small number of physical educationclasses per week (Krsmanovic, 1995). The aim of the study is determining differencesbetween examinees in terms of motor skills, depending on material and technical conditionsas well as method of class organisation that is realization of the curriculum. The participantsin the study were 142 adolescents, 17 years of age (± 6 months ). In order to assess motorskills 12 motor tests were used. Data processing was done by applying multivariate analysisof covariance (MANCOVA), significance of difference was determined by analysis ofvariance (ANOVA), while differences among examinees of the experimental and the controlgroup were determined by discriminant analysis. After the experimental treatment, it wasdetermined that there was statistically significant difference between the experimental and thecontrol group within the motor skills system.

It is well established that warm-up sessions are very important and essential part of everyswimming competition. There is much evidence which tells how strong the influence of thesesessions on swimming performance is. Although there are many suggestions about content ofwarm-up sessions in swimming, their duration and intensity, there are no clear conclusions aboutall segments of warm-up. Because of that many researchers tried to reveal how good warm-upsessions should look like. In this study 8 male and 4 female competitive swimmers aged 19 to 26were tested. They were asked to swim three different warm-up sessions followed by 100 metersperformance with maximal intensity. Before trial number 1 they performed long duration warm- up session, before trial 2 short duration warm-up session and before trial 3 they were asked toperform warm-up session with high intensity. The recovery time between each warm-up sessionand the performance was 5 minutes and during these 5 minutes. ANOVA with RepeatedMeasures was used to test the differences in the performance that swimmers achieved after threedifferent warm up sessions. Statistical significance was set at p

Usage of unallowed stimulative drugs for recovery implies consuming or giving to others substances which artificially improve physical and psychical condition of an athlete and thus improve his/her success in sport. The goal of the study is to examine attitudes of football players of various length of sports experience, towards unallowed stimulative substances for recovery. The sample of examinees consists of 120 football players divided into two groups, on basis of the sports experience length (first group: 4-8 years of sport experience, second group: 9-14 years). The sample of variables consists of a system of 10 items (claims) assessed on a 5-grade scale. The importance of the differences between the groups was determined by a multivariate and univariate analysis of variance, discriminative analysis, Royís test, Pearson's coefficient of contingency and the coefficient of multiple correlation. It is evident that football players of different length of sport experience differ among themselves in their attitudes towards unallowed drugs for recovery, however, those differences are not big.

The research is conducted with the aim of setting out the diff erences in repetitive strength of legs, torso, hands and shoulder girdle and strength of kicking a ball between soccer players U14 and children who are not involved in soccer. The sample consists of two groups of respondents. The fi rst subsample group was comprised of 20 respondents of chronological age between 12.50±0.43 who were actively involved in training process at soccer team Stars, and the other subsample included 20 respodents of chronological age between 12.50±0.62 involved in system of Physical Education but who were not involved in training process of other sport branches. Canonical Discriminant Analysis within set of four motoric variables is used to determine the basic diff erence between groups and the contribution of each variable taken individually in overall discrimination groups. The sample of respondents who train soccer achieved better results in all applied tests. All tests showed statistical signifi cance in discrimination of groups other than the test for assessing the strength of kicking a ball which is at the very margin of significance.

The aim of this research is to determine whether there is any statistically signifi cant diff erence in motor abilities of boys and girls of younger school age. The sample includes 76 examinees with 37 males and 39 females. All are 5th and 6 th graders of primary school. The evaluation of motor abilitied is based on 5 tests. Multivariant analysis of variance is applied for determination of diff erences within the whole system of motor tests, whereas univariant analysis of variance is used for determining diff erences in each motor test. According to the fi ndings, statistically signifi cant diff erences in motor abilities between boys and girls at the studied age can be noticed in the test 20 m running from fl ying start, which is in favour of boys and in the test sit and reach, in favour of girls, while the diff erences in other tests are not statistically signifi cant. Considering the evaluation of motor abilities, boys have statistically much better results in the speed of alternative movements and explosive strenth, whereas girls have achieved much better results in the test for fl exibility. It has also been concluded that 5th and 6th graders have statistically better results in the space of coordination and explosive strenght, whereas girls are much better in the fi eld of fl exibility and suppleness.
