n a sample of 100 female students at the College of Nursing Studies of the University of Bihać, a six-months-long experiment was conducted with the aim of determining the differences between two ...groups, namely the one that practiced step aerobics twice a week and the other, control group, which had no organized physical training. The research topic is a longitudinal study on a sample of female students, through the prism of researching the efficiency of Step aerobics programme in the evaluation of selected anthropological characteristics, as well as through the process of valorization of this programme’s effect on the anthropological status of female students compared to students who did not have an organized physical training. Based on t-test and discriminant analysis, it has been concluded that there are statistically significant differences between these two groups of students. The results show that there has been a change in the students of the experimental group in the initial and final measurement, which also reflected on the differences between the experimental and control groups. A single discriminant function that has very high statistical significance has been isolated. Based on these results, it can be confirmed that there was an improvement of results of morphological characteristics in female students, although they practiced only twice a week. It turned out that there was also a redistribution of body composition on account of improving the volume at the expense of adipose tissue.
This research is aimed to determine the differences in the racing performances of elite European and Latin American footballers. The research was conducted on a sample of N = 157 top football ...players, aged 19 to 35, who played all 90 minutes in the first round of the group stage of the competition at the 2018 World Cup. Respondents were classified into two groups, where group I (N = 103) consisted of football teams from Europe, and group II (N = 54), consisted of teams from Latin America. The obtained data showed that 8 out of 13 variables have the characteristic of heterogeneity with a higher value of variance than the arithmetic mean. The results of the T-test showed that only 4 of 13 variables had statistically significant differences. Footballers from European national teams are on average taller than Latin American footballers by just over 3 cm. European footballers had a 4% greater (p> 0.05) total distance traveled, distance in the first and second half of the game than Latin American footballers.
Na uzorku od 100 studentica Visoke zdravstvene škole Univerziteta u Bihaću je urađen eksperiment u trajanju od 6 mjeseci s ciljem utvrđivanja razlika između dvije grupe ispitanika i to jedne koja je ...radila step aerobik dva puta nedjeljno i druge kontrolne koja nije imala organizovano tjelesno vježbanje. Na osnovu t-testa i diskriminacijske analize utvrđeno je da je došlo do statistički značajnih razlika između ove dvije grupe ispitanika. Rezultati pokazuju da je došlo do promjena kod ispitanika eksperimentalne grupe između inicijalnog i finalnog mjerenja a također se to odrazilo i na razlike između eksperimentalne i kontrolne grupe. Izolovana je jedna diskriminaciona funkcija koja ima vrlo visoku statističku značajnost. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata može se potvrditi da je došlo do poboljšanja rezultata morfoloških karakteristika kod studentkinja, iako su vježbale samo dva puta nedjeljno. Pokazalo se da je došlo i do redistribucije sastava tijela na račun poboljšanja volumena a na štetu masnog tkiva.
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of correlation between sprint, agility and vertical jump in soccer players of HSK Zrinjski and FK Velez, champions of the Premier League of BiH ...(first rank of the competition) and champions of the First League of FBiH (second rank of the competition). The survey was conducted on a sample of 50 football players. Subjects were tested in the variables Sprint 30m, T-test and CMJ (Countermovement jump). Statistically significant strong correlation between Sprint 30m and T-test (r = 0.66) were achieved among HSK Zrinjski football players. The 30m sprint also showed moderate correlation with the CMJ variable (r = -0.45). The correlation between the T-test and the CMJ test was not statistically significant. In soccer players of FK Velez Sprint30m has a moderate correlation with the T-test variable (r = 0.49), as well as with the CMJ variable (r = -0.57). The correlation of the T-test and CMJ variables is not statistically significant. The results of this research indicate statistically significant, moderate correlations between sprint and agility, and that the researched abilities have similar determining factors. These abilities contribute to more efficient execution of fast actions in football which directly conquer the possession of the ball and score a goal (Reilly, Bangsbo & Franks, 2000). Adequate resources can greatly raise the level of these motor abilities (Bompa, 1999). Keywords: sprint, agility, jump, soccer.
